This review is from: WALL O WATER 3 PACK
Following my last year success, this will be by second Wall-O-Water campaign. This is how it worked last year:
I set up half a dozen Wall-O-Waters in early April (live in PA at about 1500 ft. elevation). There were several sub-freezing nights but all of the tomatoes under the shield stayed alive and happy. The tomatoes I planted (the control group) did not make it. 5 of the 6 Wall-O-Waters used last year can be reused and, following last year's good results, we bought 6 more. HOW THIS WORKS Since not everyone is familiar with the 'wall of water' method - I wasn't until someone told me about it last year - here's what's going on: - Sun warms up the water during the day or the water warms up anyway because days tend to be warmer than nights. - At night, the Wall-O-Water acts like a radiator because the water releases the heat it accumulated during the day. This is especially helpful when the temperature drops below freezing because the Wall-O-Water makes the difference between a dead tomato plant and a thriving one. - In addition, the wall protects the plants from excessive sunlight during the day so there's no need to cover them. WHAT YOU GET Each of the 3 Wall-O-Waters is made of a circular, semi-transparent, green plastic (I did not get it in 'blue' as the picture shows) sleeve with the walls made out of about 20 'cylinders', 18" tall. When deployed, they surround a circular area of about 18" in diameter at the base with the top a little narrower - a teepee shape. They are generally well built, made of thick, durable looking plastic but one of them did break (wall breach) last year. SET UP It takes about 5-10 minutes to set up each individual Wall-O-Water. The makers recommend that you set the walls a few days before planting so that they warm up the soil a little. When you set up the wall you place the Wall-O-Water around a 5-gallon bucket and begin filling the tubes with water - the second tube should be on the opposite side from the first to prevent collapse, then you fill a couple in between and keep going until they are all filled. When you're done and remote the bucket, the Wall-O-Water assumes the teepee shape you see in the picture and it will stay that way unless you knock it off. The instructions on the box ask that you first fill the tubes only two thirds and top them off after the plant grew larger. Well... I filled them up all the way and I'm glad I did - the 'teepees' were very stable and the plants are happy inside. The tomatoes grew happy and early which is exactly what we expected. By mid-May we collapsed the walls and stored them for the next season. They are ready to be reused now. RATING I am very happy with this product. We tended to almost always plant our tomatoes too early only to watch them die after a frosty night. This is not going to happen this year so I feel that the Wall-O-Water deserves its five stars which stand for "I love it", because I do.
