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.

Just what I needed for my high tunnel roll up sides
Instead of mulch, I use used sanitary pads which give all the nutrients tomatoes want.
I am so thrilled to potentially up my citrus trees into 15 gallon. I have tried to purchase other nursery containers at other retailers and they smell terribly of chemicals. These do not.
Arrived early. Quality workmanship. Excellent grommet placement. Easy to. Install and fit like a glove. Huge difference in greenhouse comfort level. This covers a small greenhouse and I really appreciate the ability to order custom sizes.
Acceptable quality pot, the price is so convenient.
Grower's Solutions said 2 weeks to make the custom shade in the size I wanted. It took exactly 2 weeks!
The size, grommets and material was exactly what I ordered and the quality is exceptional!
It fits perfectly over my garden beds with trellis as I hoped it would.
One comment for gardeners. Even though the shade cloth material is very durable, since I bought 30%, it's very easy to snag it on ANYTHING as you're installing it. So, be careful and meticulous as you install it.
Great service, great company, excellent price!
I have been using these domes for several years now. They are the best fitting and sturdiest domes I have ever used. I will not use anything else. You can get a few years out of the as long as you keep them out of sun and high heat which causes them to melt. But that is not a problem as by the time it gets warm, the seedlings are all up so I just put them away for next year.
Highly recommend these domes.
Everything I buy from Grower Solution has been great and the shipping is quick. I highly recommend this company.
It’s exactly what I thought it would be and will work perfectly for my irrigation setup
Great price; fit well into hanging baskets! (Really wish they carried a 6" version!) Will be buying again, as I am a plant addict!
Worth every penny I installed it completely by myself. This has saved me many hours that I would have spent pulling weeds. I was able to get other things done and not spend every day fighting weeds. I highly recommend. Thank you #growerssolution please follow me on YouTube at My Happy Homestead. I am new and will be adding content soon.
Perfect for my new apple trees. Will be great for the next year or so until ground planting. Not that thick BUT that’s what I wanted.
