A mulch is used to protect the roots from cold or heat, to prevent evaporation from the soil, or to keep the fruit clean.
The doors and walls keep out the weather and keep in the warmth. The windows admit light and when required, air. The furnishings add to comfort and coziness.
Only when we begin to analyze, feature by feature, we discover the separate qualities of the separate parts that go to make up the whole. If you take the simple example of doors, you'll find that they can differ widely. An exterior door can face any aspect and be subjected to several different kinds of weather.
It can be solid, glazed or half glazed. It can be well fitting or possessed of gaps to allow winds and droughts to whistle through. It can be open most of the time or closed.
For blackcurrants, redcurrants, gooseberries and raspberries, there is a lot to be said for using old straw. It does not seem to matter whether it is wheat, oats or barley, though it is preferable to buy this in bales because then it has been crushed somewhat and so is easier to apply.
The furnishings can absorb or reflect light, provide or disperse warmth, harbor or scatter dirt and dust. Heating can be local or general, yet either will to some extent result in some locations being warmer or cooler than others, either in the immediate vicinity as with radiator or fire, or more generally as for example the bedrooms being cooler than the living rooms. Again, relative humidity will vary according to the warmth of a room, the frequency of its use, the type of use it receives, the frequency of window opening and other factors. - 15266
