planto Bio Garden Fleece Products: Everytime an abundant harvest


For an abundant harvest in your garden, shelter your young plants right from the start. Planto's bio-fleece products provide natural climate control. They protect, but don't suffocate.
The innovative new material enables plants to thrive in a natural micro-climate. The PP fleece will not only keep off cold winds, but will also let through light and air. In a sudden cold spell, a thin sheet of ice will form on the breathable hoods and covers, stepping up protection from the adverse conditions and keeping in beneficial warmth. The fleece itself is chemically neutral, so it is not harmful to plants, animals or people. Pests won't like the taste of it, so you can ensure healthy growth without having to use the brute force of chemicals. Trust the fleece to do its job and, in ideal conditions, you can bring your harvest forward by between two and three weeks. The material is UV-resistant and, if handled carefully, will serve its purpose for several years.
There are a number of uses for Planto's bio-fleeces:
  1. The Bio Plant Tunnel is ideal for growing small plants. It couldn't be easier to set up. Its in-built steel hoops mean you can just pull it out like a concertina to whatever size you need. When folded, it's easy to pack away so you can bring out your natural protection again next year.
  2. Bio Garden Fleeces are just the thing to cover vegetables, strawberries, lettuces, herbs or other plants that grow close to the ground.
  3. The Bio Mulch Fleece is for laying out on the ground under mulch, shavings or gravel. The ground can breathe; water and nutrients can reach the roots of the plant; warmth and moisture stay in contact with the ground for longer. It will also help to prevent weeds growing without having to use chemicals. The bio mulch fleece will last for a good many years and the mulch layer won't get mixed into the soil, so you won't need to put mulch down so often either.
  4. The Bio Winter Fleece is designed to be a winter coat for your plants, protecting them from frost, hail, heavy snow and deer browsing. Simply cut the fleece to shape, cover your trees, shrubs and beds and then tie.
  5. The Bio Tomato Fleece is designed to compensate for extreme temperature fluctuations. That way, sensitive plants can be put outside earlier. The breathable, translucent hood will also keep off pests, while the gardener is rewarded with a wonderfully healthy crop.
Planto's managing director Friederike Sandt, from Germany, sets great store by the solid workmanship of the practical gardening accessories made by planto, plantolino and Lea´s Gardenline. Because tools that only last a season quickly put an end to gardening fun. The young entrepreneur caused quite a stir with these top-quality products at the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas. Quite an achievement for a newcomer to the gardening market.

Lea's gardening gloves: stylish and practical


Gardening means working with your hands. That's why it's so important to protect them properly from dirt, prickles and thorns. The German firm planto has designed its fashionable Pepita gloves for the Lea's Gardenline label precisely for that purpose. But these finger covers are far from fancy frippery. They are made with cotton to make sure you're skin can breathe and the palms are reinforced for extra protection. The elasticated wrists make for a perfect fit and the fabric inlay between the fingers gives them plenty of room to move. In addition to the "classic" model, two other designs have been specially created to cope with different gardening tasks. "Pepita Favorite" has special micro-boucle knop on the palms to ensure a good safe grip. "Pepita Professional" is designed for the more difficult tasks and has an extra-long cuff to protect the wrist and lower arm.
