COLD CHAIN
Harvest from this week's beds walks in hot. We add up field heat plus the crop still breathing, then ask whether the CoolBot can knock it down in four hours. Hydrocooling is the first pass — the window unit is not a miracle. Keep tomatoes, peppers, cukes, and basil out of the 34°F box.
Box volume
512.0 ft³
55% usable for totes
Split the load. Zone 1 at 34°F will chill-injure tomato, pepper, cucumber, and basil.
