Re: wall of waters -Reply

We have had exceptional results with Wall o Water (tm) here. You must 
use them correctly, however, to get best results. Contrary to the ads 
I never trust them to stand up on their own. I place stakes or a cage 
inside. It is best to set them up 1-2 weeks ahead so they can prewarm 
the soil. When it is very cold they are kept in teepee shape and 
later at full open top. I use them on all heat-loving crops as our 
temperatures drop into the 40s at night until almost the end of June 
and we have 50's at night throughout the summer. I usually get 3-4 
yrs out of each one. Our MG group buys them wholesale and sell them 
back to ourselves at about $2.00 @. We started using them when they 
first came out years ago. They were 75 cents @ then. I must have 30 
of them at home. They need to be cleaned at the end of the season and 
stored safely. There are plastic repair sleeves for damaged cells. 
You can even make your own repair sleeve. I am sorry you had such a 
bad experience with them. My worst year was when the geese got into 
the garden and methodically tried to fish in each cell. That caused a 
pile of damage and a few crushed plants on the ones they managed to 
collapse. Feathers flew!
