I think the blue tape that you are referring to is what is around the 2 gallon buckets. That is not actually tape, it's rolled foam insulation. I warped what I had around the buckets to help protect against heat in the root zone from our 120+ degree temps. What I need to do is use 3/4 inch flat Styrofoam insulation on the bottom, and top to bottom rolled foam insulation on the sides. They use the rolled foam insulation in building some block walls if I remember that right. It comes in 4 and 6 inch widths rolls. Although you can also get rolled foam insulation as a floor or carpet underlayment, and even as packing supply's. The flat sheet Styrofoam can be found in the home insulation department at any home improvement store.
