Ground Control To Major Tomato

Zero gravity bites.

Zero gravity bites.

Silver reflective mulch has such a  space age look and feel that we put Matt Mason Spaceman on the case. Matt reports that he needed shades as he gently floated over our freshly-planted tomato plants — despite the overcast day. Finding a few dry hours has proven challenging. But we’ve been disciplined and avoided the temptation of planting between rain showers.

Silver mulch zaps the insects that thrive on tomato plants — namely aphids and the dread hornworm. We are excited to return to the silver mulch fold this year.
