Less watering saves water

Laying a high-performance weed barrier can provide additional benefits beyond weed control. The new DuPont™ GreenVista© Premium Weed Control Fabric can significantly improve moisture retention in the soil when properly installed with a 5cm covering of mulch.

The scientifically-engineered fabric is 100% permeable to water with an impressive penetration rate of 240 litres per square metre per second. Moisture is captured below the fabric and evaporation is prevented by the mulch layer above. With a guaranteed lifespan of 20 years, this is an investment of time and money well worth making. DuPont™ GreenVista© Premium Weed Control Fabric is available in a 15 metre roll (1 metre wide) priced at £15.99, or as a 3 metre by 2 metre folded sheet at £7.99.

Haxnicks Easy Fleece Tunnel

Fleece rescues carrots and cabbages
Fleece can provide an effective barrier to Carrot Fly and Cabbage Root Fly and the quickly erected Haxnicks Easy Fleece Tunnel cloches are ideal for the job. They allow moisture and sunlight to filter through to developing vegetable crops, whilst creating a warm, sheltered and well-ventilated growing environment. The unique, one-piece concertina design takes only minutes to put in place and is available in two sizes, both three metres long. Giant size (60cm wide / 45cm high) priced at £22.99, standard size (45cm wide / 30cm high) priced at £17.99.

Elegant support for summer displays

The black steel centre pole is topped with a decorative finial and four rot-proof, polypropylene strings radiate out from the base of the finial to provide an attractive frame for climbing plants such as morning glory and patio clematis. The Haxnicks Container Maypole is priced at £14.99.
