Destiny Survival

            I realize it’s perhaps a bit late in the season to bring this up, unless you live up North, but having several Wall O’ Waters to protect your delicate plants is a good idea.  The weather’s been so crazy this season, you never know what’s coming next, and we could still have a cold snap before the really warm weather comes to stay.

            Over the years a number of favorable accounts have appeared in gardening magazines from gardeners throughout the country who have used Wall O’ Water.  In case you’re not familiar with the Wall O’ Water, here’s how they work.  When they’re filled with water, the tubes form a protective, insulated wall around plants.  That shields your plants from cold and frost.  Each Wall O’ Water soaks up the sun’s heat during the day and then releases it slowly during the night.  Wall O’ Water will protect those little green baby plants down to 16 degrees F.  Your tomato or pepper plants can get an early start so they’ll grow bigger and produce more, too.  In fact, you can plant up to eight weeks earlier.

            Even if you think you can get by without them this season, think ahead.  Remember, you’re gardening for survival, so get some now and have them on hand for next year.  If you click on the Lehman’s logo and type Wall O Water (without the apostrophe) on their home page search box, you’ll go right to a picture of one.  Click on the picture to find out more.  Wall O’ Waters come six to a set, and they’ll last 3-5 years with proper care, so they’re a good survival gardening investment.
