Solar Bells, Set of 3 - Item #35-067

$29.95

Economical Cloches Protect Transplants

Solar Bells are based on time-tested glass garden cloches, but they're made of clear plastic instead of glass. That means they're portable, stackable, and much more affordable. And they're sturdy enough to protect against wind and pests as well as cold.

  • Vented tops prevent overheating
  • Set of 3 cloches
  • Anchor your Solar Bells down with our Earth Staples, sold separately

      Comments about Solar Bells, Set of 3:

      Sometimes a strong breeze can tumble these bells over but we came up with a work around. We carefully drilled small holes in the horizontal edge so we could put ground stakes through the rim allowing us to pin them to the ground.

      It would be very nifty if you would also offer a junior size for us lanai gardeners. My cats will chow down on sprouting cat grass before the grass has a chance to grow!

      The concept is good and product design is good, material is too light and the cost is too much for what you get.

        Comments about Solar Bells, Set of 3:

        I can put plants into the garden much earlier, also after starting from seeds, I can plant in a biodegradible pot and keep the plants on my patio with solar bells to protect them from the cold until the ground warms up enough to go into the garden, then for extra transitional help for a week or two. Opening up the vents for daylight prevents overheating.

          Wow, sorry to say disappointed in the durability of this product. Way over priced. These are nothing more than cheap light-weight plastic. Not even sure they will hold up for one season.[...] for the price paid they are just not worth it. I was hoping to have them last but I don't think they will hold up very well. :(

              Perfect for protecting seedlings in early spring from frost and "critters"....the handy vents in the top keep it from heating up too much.....love it!

                When the weather is back and forth temperature wise I keep the solar bells stacked by the garden and cover the garden plants with them when night temps drop too low.

                  Good protection for plants early in the Spring when the nights are still cool enough to damage them. Keeps soil warm during the day and lets light in.
