Default Red Plastic

Hi all, I am Sean from the west mids (UK) and would like to ask if anyone has had any experience with "Red Plastic" and Tomatoes? I`ll explain, being an avid grower of the humble Tom anything that may get them bigger and better is well worth a look-see! I have been told that if you place a Red plastic sheet under your plants on top of the grow bag it results in bigger, bushier, healthier plants? So I have tried this and already it is showing signs of success. I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this or any other wacky ideas to help growth?

Sean.

It had no significant effect on yeild. In the UK, the wallowaters may
give you a bit of an edge in earlier productions.
