The Tomato
Tray is designed to slow water your tomato plant, while keeping weeds
and pests at a minimum.
The red color reflects red light back to
the plant, stimulating growth by as much as 40 percent more.
The split tray fits easily around the
stem, and the four spikes direct water deep into the root zone. It can also
be used with peppers, melons, zucchini and others. Comes packaged in units
of 3. Reusable. $6.95 |

Season Starters
are really little gems that help protect plants from light frosts. A series
of tubes that are filled with water surround the plant and offer extra added
warmth. Protects tender plants to 16 degrees. Plant early and harvest
early.
In addition to giving heat loving
vegetables a head start, we have also used Season Starters as season
extenders to take new plantings of marginal or fussy plants through their
first winter. We had great success getting our
Greek Bays established this way. $9.95 |

Row covers are light weight cloths
that allow light, air and water to the plants, but not bugs or birds. This
can be the most environmentally friendly method of pest control that you
will ever use. You want to float this cover loosely over your plants so
that, as the plants grow, your plants will have extra room to push up
against the cover. We usually mound the edges with dirt or lay bricks around
to hold the cover to the ground. It must not blow around or insects will get
in. Harvest-Guard comes folded flat for easy storage. 5' by 25'. $10.95 |

Weed Control |
 |
Red mulch film was developed by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture and has been shown to increase yields by 20
percent. The red light in the light spectrum has a an effect on the
flowering and fruiting stage of the plant. The red plastic reflects the red
light back onto the plant. Tomatoes grown with red mulch have bigger and
heavier tomatoes. Since the goal for all vegetables is to have the
best possible fruit, this mulch should benefit all vegetables and
strawberries.
We recommend pinning the edges of our
Better Reds Mulch Film down with our Garden Pegs or some other device so
that it does not fly about the plant. In addition to helping the plant to
produce more, the plastic will also kill the weed seeds that germinate under
it . 8 Pre-cut 3' by 3' sheets. $7.95 Order

Light weight and long lasting, Coco
Mulch is a very effective and very attractive weed suppressant. This

least 3 inches deep for best results and may have to be reapplied after
six months or so. For best weed control, the ground should not be
