Mulches
Red Tomato Mulch - $25.95
Tomato Yield Booster Will Increase Your Tomato Harvest 20%!
The product that started the "red revolution," this remarkable red mulch helps tomato plants grow faster and produce more abundant crops. Now it's better than ever, with micro-perforations that allow water, air and nutrients to reach the soil surface. Convenient, pre-cut 3' squares are easier to work with. Developed jointly by the USDA and Clemson University, and proven effective in tests by a leading consumer magazine, this specially engineered red mulch is an exciting breakthrough for anyone who grows tomatoes. The red plastic actually reflects far-red light wavelengths upward into your tomato plants. This triggers the release of a natural plant protein that stimulates more rapid growth and development. Your plants will mature faster, look bushier, and give you a more flavorful, more abundant harvest than ever before.
- University-tested mulch improves yield and flavor of your tomatoes
- Also warms soil, suppresses weeds, and conserves moisture
- Easy to anchor with Earth Staples (see next item), sold separately
- Plastic, 24' L x 3' W, 1 mm thick
