Extend the Growing Season and Your Enjoyment
You've selected and nurtured your plants because you enjoy them.
Now it's easy to protect them so you may enjoy them longer.
Use Cover in Early Season
Begin using the cover once plants start to bud or on seedlings and annuals from the nursery. Get plants off to a good start for the new season. Be prepared when bad weather may occur. Weather can be unpredictable and you never know when a cold spell may occur.
Remember that frost frequently occurs AFTER the "last AVERAGE frost date".
- use as a mini-greenhouse over young plants and seedlings to get an early start
- protect from a late frost, cold spell, wind and rain storms
- protect from pests (they especially like young, tender foliage!)
Use Cover in Middle Season
Keep plants healthy. Protect them from pests and unseasonable weather.
- protect from damaging weather such as a cold spell, wind and rain storms
- protect from damaging pests such as beetles, grasshoppers, birds, rabbits, deer, and others
Use Cover in Late Season
Enjoy fully grown decorative plantings as long as possible — you nurtured them all season so you could.
Enjoy the tomatoes and other produce you anticipated all season. Enable it to ripen on the vine — don't let a cold spell kill plants prematurely.
- keep plants alive when early frost and other damaging weather occurs
- protect from damaging pests such as beetles, grasshoppers, birds, rabbits, deer, and others
Store Your Covers After the Growing Season
Once annuals die back due to a hard freeze or perennials lose their foliage and enter dormancy, be sure to remove your covers and store them until the next growing season. Covers left on bare bushes or other plants are susceptible to being punctured or torn, making them less effective for the next growing season. Be sure to store them away from the sun or other direct UV light to prolong the life of the specially designed fabric.
