Harvest Guard™ Protective Covers

Ultra Lightweight! For Shrubs, Plants, Lawns & Crops.

TARGET: Protect ornamentals, trees, plants & crops. DESCRIPTION: Harvest Guard Protective Covers retain warmth and moisture while venting excess heat. Made from 1.6 oz. reemay, they provide protection from frost, snow, ice and harsh winds in fall, winter and early spring. Use when temperatures are as low as 29°F. Covers can be used as seed germination blankets and to protect plants from insects, birds or animals. SUGGESTED USE: Drape covers loosely, allowing slack for plants to grow. To shield from wind, secure every 6-8 ft. using nails, rocks, etc. To shield from pests, bury edges 1-4 inches. Keep in place for up to 8 weeks, depending on temperatures. Apply liquid fertilizers or water directly to or under cover. Remove during pollination, for tomatoes and peppers at 80°F, and for all plants at 85°F.

Insulated Plant Protector™

Get An Early Start On Your Growing To Make The Most Of Your Season.

TARGET: Tomatoes, peppers, melons, cucumbers and more.

DESCRIPTION: This 18” tall device works like a mini greenhouse and allows you to plant and harvest weeks earlier than you could otherwise. When filled with water and placed around a plant it will collect and store heat from the sun, protect your plant from freezing, and offer shelter from cold winter winds. Requires no special assembly or tool – just a hose or watering can. Can protect down to 16°F. Allows you to plant 6-8 weeks earlier. SUGGESTED USE: Place in a site with maximum exposure to the sun and cover the soil with dark mulch or plastic. Fill the cells (there are 18 of them) of the IPP with water and place around your plant. For added stability, create an internal support with plant stakes (tee-pee design allows you to open and close IPP).Top may be sealed close with a rubber band on extra-cold days and left open on warm days. Remove IPP when danger of frost has passed and store away for use the following year. 1269520 Insulated Plant Protector - 3 Pack $17.99
