Gardeneer Insulated Plant Protectors

The protectors feature water-filled troughs that absorb solar heat throughout the day. This stored energy is released at night, keeping the soil and air around your young plants warm enough to survive early spring frosts, allowing you to plant up to six weeks earlier than usual.

Yes, while they are particularly effective for tomatoes, they work well for any sensitive vegetable or flower that needs protection from cold snaps, such as peppers, cucumbers, or early-season seedlings.

No tools are required. These are freestanding, hoop-style protectors that you simply place directly on the ground around your plant. The weight of the water in the troughs keeps them stable.

Once the threat of frost has passed, you simply empty the water from the troughs. The plastic sheets are designed to fold completely flat, making them easy to stack and store in a shed or garage until the next season.

Yes, they are constructed from durable plastic intended for repeated seasonal use. As long as you empty and store them properly after each frost season, they should last for several years.

The red film is specifically designed to boost tomato yields. Research suggests that the red light spectrum reflected by the plastic can stimulate growth and increase fruit production in tomato plants.
