Red Plastic Mulch is primarily used on tomatoes for an early harvest. According to researchers at Cornell and Clemson universities, when tomatoes are grown on red mulch they have higher yields, stronger stems and ripen earlier. Research has also found that red mulch reduces nematode damage. The plant responds to the high proportion of reflected far-red from the red mulch by growing taller and putting out more leaves. Eggplant have also shown increased yields when grown on red.
It is the color of the mulch that changes the intensity of certain wave lengths of light that in turn has an impact on plant growth and subsequent yields. Studies by Penn State University show tomato yields have been as much as 20% higher with red plastic mulch than with black.
Red mulch reflects intensified red light to the developing plants which increases their photosynthetic capacity. There is more reflectivity early in the season when more of the mulch is exposed to light. This red plastic mulch is made of high quality, durable plastic that is 1.0 mil thick and lays well over flat or raised beds. It has season-long integrity and is easily removed from the field after harvest.
Place as pictured. Today will be the real challenge to see if they withstand hail and high winds.
Instead of mulch, I use used sanitary pads which give all the nutrients tomatoes want.
best tomatoes in a long time using this product
Does what is supposed to do
Quick sipping! I'm sure that my tomatoes will love the red plastic mulch
Made for a very simple/easy installation - thanks!
Shade cloth was well made - grommets and hooks make for an easy install - thanks!!
I've never seen such a thorough test as yours. I'm very excited to get my results. I will purchase again and recommend it to everyone who plants any type of garden!
Slow on receiving the kit but quick turnaround for the results. Found out about the kit from Deep South Homestead on YT. Test results pinpointed soil deficiencies and factors that are within range for vegetable growth. Knowing the deficiencies saved me money by not having to try hit and miss amendments. Time will tell but I believe having the test results will help me get the soil conditions tuned in to better growing success of both fruits and vegetables. I will submit another test this fall to check results and prepare for next year.

Great everything was great
Seem to be holding up well so far, I bought 30 and filled them all up and have moved them several times with no issues. Will be buying more.
The product came quickly, the trays work great together and there have been no issues.
