What are they made of and what are the sizes? Would they cover a large tomato plant?

I believe the material is made from polypropylene. The material is lighter weight than the Planket brands. The covers are wide but, I wouldn't expect that they would cover something tall. I used them to cover plants that I have in wooden whiskey barrels. The plants are about 2 feet tall from the top of the barrel. The cover did not cover all the plant AND the barrel. Worked OK to cover the plant and the top part of the barrel - enough to pull the cover securely in place. For my taller plants/fragile trees, I purchased the 10' long plant wrap. It was huge but, I cut it down, wrapped the plant and secured it in place with clothes pins. Easy to put on and take off this way without damaging branches - no cords to fiddle with like the plant bags. I would say these covers would protect small shrub size plants.

I think they would cover a fairly large tomato plant .I am not sure what they are made out of but they did protect two southern azalea plants through a Maine winter .

I don't have one to look at right now, but I'm thinking they are about three feet long. It might be possible to splice in an extension, although I just adjusted plant locations.

I put a 44lb bag on a 4'x12' raised bed for tomatoes. They turned out great. It just adds back minerals. I used a fish kelp fertilizer also. You might want to check the PH of the soil after adding.

they're about 12" high so would work for small plants. They do tend to lift in strong winds so you may have to set them in lower and push some dirt up onto the plastic to keep them from getting away.

They vary from about two inches to about 3 inches. Mine are outside right now so I can't measure them. They are perfect to keep the plant off the deck, floor or ground. I am very happy with mine.

The components are formed using a composite material of some sort-plastics no-dought.We have used ours-we have 10-for several years. They are tough and don't seem to be disturbed by the weather.We own about 10 acres and will NEVER grow our vegetables any other way again. We have a specific way we do it Would be happy to share at the request. Good day!

With the 15 gallon size we were going to put 2 tomato plants in just one bag but I if you go to different sites to look up container gardening they say a 3 gallon pot for 1 plant so I recommend the 5 gallon size for 1 tomato plant. We returned ours because we thought they would not hold up over time.

Ideally they would be 4-6" long and up to 3" in diameter/thick. The smaller twigs are fine but you will have to keep adding them as they burn quicker

They range in size. An exact estimate would be difficult to make but an approximation of anywhere from 8 or 9 inches in length down to 2 or 3 inches in length would be a good guess. As far as width goes I'd say 1.5 to 2 inches. There are also small single leaves and buds ranging from 1.5 to 0.5 inches length by width. I can tell you that one sheet isn't going to cover much of a wall, you'd need at least 2 to 3.

I have 6 of them in my garden. The weight of the soil keeps them in place. The plastic covers fasten with velcro to the corners of the planter.

2 cm x 2 cm I have mine over a raised bed of tomatoes, but had to raise the netting to accommodate growth. I'll be sure to select the smaller bush type of tomatoes next time, as the taller variety are through the netting already, and there is fruit growing outside where the birds can consume. Luckily they are unripened and the birds have left them alone. I'm thinking of bagging the fruit once it becomes of interest to those pesky blue jays!

They are made of plastic. Very durable and long lasting. Also, waterproof should you want to put them in water or, as I did, in large glass vases filled with water beads.

I'd say they're a little larger than 1 inch by 1 inch. They work great to start seeds if you are going to transfer them into larger pots before moving outside (or to a final large pot). I use them mostly for tomatoes and pepper plants. Most other vegetables I either start in 4 inch pots or direct sow. I know I answered more than you asked, but figured it might be useful info.

Hi, I've lent them to someone so can't tell you exactly but they are quite big, I'd say about 5 by 6 centimetres. I used them on top of cupcakes and they pretty much covered the whole top. Sorry I can't be more accurate x

It's clear plastic with embedded netting. It's this top plastic that gets brittle from the sun over time. I still have mine and it's going on 4 years now. I leave it set up year round. On real cold nights I cover the whole greenhouse with large tarps. The tarps cover any holes and/or gaps and keep the heat in from a small space heater. During the day I pull the tarps back with attached ropes. Hope this helps, good luck.

I built a pvc frame and keep it about 18" above a table when starting seedlings, the area of full intensity lighting is about 34" x 54". We have not used it on tomatoes past about 5-6" height. At that size they seemed lush and healthy.

They are made of metal. The tulip (flower) lens cover is a heavy duty plastic. All very durable.
