Red Tomato Mulch
Tomato Yield Booster Will Increase Your Tomato Harvest 20%!
The product that started the "red revolution," this remarkable red mulch helps tomato plants grow faster and produce more abundant crops. Now it’s better than ever, with micro-perforations that allow water, air and nutrients to reach the soil surface. Convenient,
pre-cut 3' squares are easier to work with. Developed jointly by the USDA and Clemson University, and proven effective in tests by a leading consumer magazine, this specially engineered red mulch is an exciting breakthrough for anyone who grows tomatoes. The red plastic actually reflects far-red light wavelengths upward into your tomato plants. This triggers the release of a natural plant protein that stimulates more rapid growth and development. Your plants will mature faster, look bushier, and give you a more flavorful, more abundant harvest than ever before. University tested!
Improves yield and flavor of your tomatoes
Also warms soil, suppresses weeds, and conserves moisture
Easy to anchor with Earth Staples, sold separately

I like to plant my tomato plants very early in the season. I used to have problems with aphids but don't when I used red mulch.

Comments about Red Tomato Mulch, Set of 8:
We had a bumper crop when I used these. I can't be sure if it was the red mulch or if it was the weather but the red mulch definitely did not hurt because we had a lot of tomatoes. I will be using them again next year. I already ordered them. I thought about trying to reuse them but they got a bit tattered after one year. Make sure you buy the earth staples to hold them down and you may want to poke holes to allow more water to get through to the soil but even if you don't they still work well.

We're on our 3rd summer of using this same tomato mulch and have had amazing results with productivity compared to our tomato plants without the mulch. I've now bought some as gifts for family members who are impressed with the quantity of tomatoes our plants produce!

Comments about Red Tomato Mulch, Set of 8:
This is very easy to use, and has really helped us to grow our tomatoes. They keep weeds away, and seem to have also helped somewhat in keeping blight away. We still had to spray with copper sulfate to arrest blight, but I think that the red mulch has helped a great deal as well.

Comments about Red Tomato Mulch, Set of 8:
I had heard this was to be a great product, but found out the hard way otherwise. First the sheets are too difficult to place in an existing bed without securing at least two of the corners first. Now that I have had on them on a while water pools on top, while weeds push up from the bottom. Even worse I have found mosquito larvae in the water! I think I will stick with straw and grass.

Comments about Red Tomato Mulch, Set of 8:
I grow tomatoes in containers so I just tucked the sheets around the plant. So far they have been very helpful at keeping the pots from drying out as quickly.
