Haxnicks Victorian Bell Cloches are ideal for warming soil, planting out and encouraging stable, healthy growth of seedlings and tender plants.
Made from clear, rigid plastic with an adjustable vent on the top for easy ventilation and humidity control.
Ideal for over-wintering of herbaceous border plants and semi-hardy perennials, growing winter lettuces, encouraging early crops of fruit, vegetables and salads and establishing kitchen herb gardens. Cloches conserve warmth and direct rainwater and moisture into the surrounding soil.
Dimensions: W40 x D40 x H34cm
Contents: 2 Cloches
Advisory
I think it's a little early to post a really honest opinion of these cloches as I've only had them for a few weeks. They are the largest bell-cloches I could find and seem very good quality. I plunged canes into the ground and passed them through the adjustable air vents in the tops of the cloches to prevent them blowing away in the wind which is working very well. The soil under the cloches is noticeably warmer than the surrounding soil, and my plants are looking good. The test will be if we have a hard frost, not had one since planting out. One thing I would like is that each cloche has four holes in through which you can pass skewers to anchor them down. There are no skewers/pegs provided and I've not been able to buy any. Perhaps they should be supplied with the cloches?????
I needed these cloches to cover plants that had been wrapped up over the winter in fleece, in order now to give them some natural light. They are well pegged down in this very windy weather, and are standing up well to all the storms currently blowing through Leicester-shire!
covers my tulips lovely
VERY HAPPY WITH THESE.I USE THEM FOR TENDER SHRUBS IN PLANTERS.DO HAVE TO TRIM BACK A BIT .USE FLEECE ROUND PLANTERS TOO.DON`T APPEAR THAT TOUGH BUT MY ONES FROM LAST YEAR ARE STILL UNDAMAGED AND THE PLANTS SURVIVED -6.
Ideal to cover young tender plants. Best fixed with small ground hooks. The top vent is a real plus for air circulation. Larger plants would need a more flexible cover such as fleece. Unobtrusive, practical and effective, to be used season after season.
