greenmulch-4x25
Green plastic mulch is used on most vine crops for early harvest and increased yield. With green films, sunlight is converted to heat at a higher rate, exposing crops to warmer air. Heat loving vegetables such as cucurbits often benefit from this increased heat by growing faster and becoming more productive. Test results showed an average 35% increase in cantaloupe yield over a three year period. Watermelons, cucumbers and zucchini also benefit from green plastic mulch. A herbicide is recommended but not necessary when using green plastic mulch.
Green Plastic Mulch 1.0 mil is the latest development in plastic mulch technology. In a general sense, this new mulch is a "hybrid" between clear and black mulches. With clear mulch, all wave lengths of radiation (light) are transmitted through the mulch. The long wavelengths (infra-red radiation) are converted to heat under the clear film and provide the greatest amount of soil warming of all mulches. However, photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) is also transmitted and responsible for the vigorous weed growth under clear mulch. Because black mulch blocks PAR, weeds do not grow underneath. Soil warming occurs as the black mulch absorbs solar radiation and then conducts the heat into the soil. Soil temperature under black is lower than under clear mulch.
This is where Green comes into the picture. By utilizing a carefully balanced blend of polyethylene with a specific light modifying pigment, Green mulch transmits near infra-red radiation and, at the same time, blocks PAR. Therefore, it simultaneously generates almost as much heat as clear mulch and suppresses weeds like black mulch. This is a win-win development for growers.

Good for melons
Great product for the price. Good quality and will last a few years. The best place I've found to buy pots.
This test was easy and convenient. The results came back quickly. I found out I was very low in nitrogen. Glad I found that out before I planted tomatoes and peppers.
My neighbor saw how great my fabric was instead of the stuff from big box stores. He wanted me to order for him and that is this order. He is excited to get it in.
Work great for what we needed. Nice quality trays!
Just what I would expect for cardboard beer boxes. Get the job done. Will buy again.
We've used these 6" pots two years to pot bare=root seedlings to give to school children. They work great for that purpose. Easy to transport. Allow seedlings to bud out before taking to schools. Easy to explain to kids how to plant the trees/shrubs without having to remove them from the pots. Smaller pots don't provide enough room inside to contain the roots of the seedlings.
They look great
These work GREAT in holding down your weed fabric! Easy to install and I’ve even used these in the garden to secure plant trellis strings.
Have ordered custom shade cloth from Growers Solution in the past and have been satisfied both times. I would order again.
Sturdy enough to be able to cut in half, to use 25 cells at a time, which is easier to handle.
I've used both ground covers and have been very satisfied with the performance of both. It's important to cut any folage as low as possible or and left over stumps or hard stems or roots. I use 30% vinegar on the area also. You will have some weeds appear at anchors. The vinegar will take careof that.
Good product. I will buy more.
