Thank you. 
 
Does anyone have experience with those brown papery things shaped like a round hat?  I think they are called 'hot caps/hats'?  We have some left from the previous owners but have never tried them.  It looks as if you just set them over the young plant and put a little dirt over the lip to hold it down. 
 
Do they work? 
 
Are they worth using?
 
Easy/hard to use?
 
How would you vent them?
 
Thanks in advance for some input.

We bought one of these a few years ago and have yet attempted to put it up, thinking it requires at least 4-5 people to set up.  How many folks did it take for you to set it up?  Any hints there?  I feel kinda bad just letting spent money sit in the shop.  Or might it be better to let sleepin' dogs lie?
 

If I remember right it was set up with two people; might have been three. Bear in mind we didn't get it right; but I don't know that that had to do with having not enough people, I think the problem was that we were going by instructions in the catalogue and not by whatever's in the video (which I haven't actually played). I'd pick a non-windy day, though. And again, I'd get the full instructions, and go over those first. They might also help you decide how many people.
