Plant Covers - Netting for Freeze and Pest Protection - Polypropylene Mesh Cloth Wrap for Cold Winter Weather & Transitioning - Outdoor Garden Tomato Plant Cover (4' Tall x 4.5' Wide)

I have huge hanging flower baskets and never had a way to keep them from frosting as they were too heavy to put in my garage. These bags worked very well. They go on from the bottom and you can really tighten them up on the top. I would recommend,

It’s large enough for my tomato plants. I like the two tabs to hold it down in wind. Wish there was four tabs. The birds and other varmints can’t peck at my tomatoes. Now to see how it does with frost. So far nights are in the 37-45 temperature range

For years, I have draped freeze cloths over tender plants in the flower beds and cut up the big freeze cloths to wrap around the my pots. So happy I ordered a number of these in various sizes. We had our first freeze last weekend. These were so much easier to cover my outdoor pots than trying to wrap them with freeze cloth and use clothes pins to hold together. The pull strings on these are perfect to sinch the bottom of the bags around the base of the pots. We had high wind when the cold front blew through and I didn’t have to worry about the covers blowing off. I needed a couple more larger covers…and have already ordered them…to be prepared for the next freeze.

This is the 2nd year that I have purchased these. Even in Texas we can get a couple days of good snow and freezing temperature. These blankets are a lifesaver. I put them on before the first frost and then leave them on until the last. I staple these on my wood fence around my bushes to protect them. I use these on my blackberry and honeysuckle bushes last year, and this year, I plan to use them on some of my other plants that are on the ground in pots. I didn't get one of my blackberry bushes covered in time last year and I lost it, but the one I did has flourished. I love that these allow the plants to breath and that they still get sun. No they don't last typically more than one year, I really didn't expect them to. But it is way cheaper than trying buying new plants every year!

This product protected my plants from freezing during several nights when the temperature was in the low 30's to high 20's. I have had it on my plants for 2 weeks. In addition to the cold nights, we had a couple of days in the high 70's and the plants did not get too hot under the fabric. It seems durable and is easy to use.

It sounded like a good idea when I bought it, but it didn't achieve the results I was looking for. I put it over my cut back princess plant in November 2013. It went over the plant very well and I cinched it at the bottom so it wouldn't blow off. So far, so good. Since the information on the cover said it was breathable, I decided to leave it on until most chances of frost were over (in Fremont, CA). Recently (Feb 2014) I noticed there was a tear at the top of the cover and I peeked in to see how the plant was doing. It didn't appear to fare any better than if I had left it uncovered. This plant always dies almost to the bottom of the plant each winter and I have to cut away the dead portions and let the plant start growing from the bottom. I was hoping the cover would help it not die back as much. Recently it pretty much ripped to pieces when it was really windy so I just removed it and tossed it. At least it wasn't very expensive and was worth a try.

I have been using this over a raised garden bed to protect the plants from frost and animals. It worked well to keep the plants safe from frost and I have kept it on even though over night it is night freezing. The sheet does protect from sunlight as well so my vegetables have not gotten burnt from the high desert sunlight. I wish the cloth were of higher quality. After three months of use it has split open and is falling apart. I certainly will not be able to use this for more than one season.

Let me tell you, I added this cover as frost protection for 28 degree weather here in Florida for my tomatoes. I actually had made a tent out of it so the leaves would not touch the fabric, i came back the next day to a wilted frosty mess, i secured the fabric and everything. The sheets i used on another bed worked much better than this. I only received one out of the three in time for the frost and so i got the other two in today. I will be returning those. The only thing this fabric would be good for is for bug protection.
