The rubber tub is tightly wedged into the tire, no gaps, no openings. As long as the tub is in place there is no access.

Our weekend forecast is night temps dropping to ~20°F. It does sometimes get that cold here during the winter, but not usually until late December or into January. I guess I will be losing my fall crop of peas, which have just gotten into full production.
Blast.

Our first frost is on Friday followed by deep freeze on Sunday. They just amended the low to 22° on Monday, up from 19° I saw last night.

Keep the homeless in your prayers.

Do you have a cold frame/tent or can you make one? It may help save the peas.

I had Hubs put one together out of scrap wood. I do need to recover with plastic every couple of years.

OR a sheet tented over the peas can also help, may save them, worth a shot.

I can promise you that fungal spores and bacteria can easily pass around the edges of your rubber tub setup, not to mentions leaching out around the bottom.
