Cloches & Tunnels

Cloches are protective structures; they're usually portable, which provides the added benefit that they can be moved around a plot and used for a variety of crops. They can be a bell shaped for single planting or in tunnel form for multiple planting.

The warmer soil temperature allows for quicker root development, giving your plants a strong, healthy start and, on a windy site, a cloche may also protect. . . Show More >
