Frost cloth

Posted by ladyver 9 (My Page) on

Does anyone have a recommendation for a brand/type of sturdy frost cloth? I'm trying to be proactive and prepare for the winter. I have a large (8-10ft)in-ground plumie that I need to protect, among other things. The winds where I'm at can be really nasty sometimes, so I need something that stands a chance of holding up. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks!

Sonja

Go to Agribon.com. I have been using this frost cloth for a few years and they really work.

Sorry I do not remember the name of the company I purchased from right now but you will see some companies when you go Google search for Agribon. They have many different thickness and sizes to choose from. I will let you know as soon as I find out the name of the company.
This is very light material. I even used them to protect them from burning from the sun when it gets over 100. I cut them and cover the tree and use cloth pins to hold them down but my trees are getting too big to cover now and I do not know how to protect them. I sometime covered all my tips with newspaper and placed plastic bag(one from the market, tied them very loose. They worked well also. I live in San Fernando Valley, it gets pretty hot in summer and gets some frost in winter too.
