veggies. Has anyone used them? Any comments? /z. |

red and green plastic
From: (Zphysics1) These plastic 'mulches' are supposed to be used around tomatoes and green veggies. Has anyone used them? Any comments? I usually use black plastic mulch for most plantings--tried some plants with the red mulch--no discernable difference was observed. You mean I spent all that money for nothin'? Jeez. /z. |

It probably depends on how your tomatoes are planted. I believe the tests that showned improvements in tomato yield with red plastic mulch was done on commercial farms with widely spaced rows planted so power equipment can travel the field. That allows lots of light in to be reflected up from the mulch. I know my home garden tomato patch was too small and too densely planted to allow much light down to the ground so the red mulch didn't do anything for me. It may work fine in bigger scale plantings.
