Product Information

Full details

The Haxnicks Victorian Bell Garden Cloche (Pack of 3) is designed for home gardeners seeking to protect young plants and encourage early growth. Its key benefit is creating a micro-greenhouse environment that conserves warmth and moisture while shielding plants from pests and harsh weather. A potential caveat is that while lightweight, the plastic construction may not offer the same thermal mass as glass cloches.

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of each cloche?

The pack includes three cloches: Small (W 20 x H 25 cm), Regular (W 34 x H 26 cm), and Large (W 40 cm x H 31 cm).

Are pegs included for anchoring the cloches?

Garden pegs for securing the cloches are not explicitly included with the product and may need to be purchased separately.

Can these cloches be used all year round?

Yes, they are suitable for year-round use, providing protection from frost in winter, warmth in spring for early crops, and shelter from pests throughout the growing season.

How do I adjust the ventilation?

Each cloche has a built-in roof vent at the top. You can adjust airflow by simply rotating this top section to open or close the vent.

Are these cloches fragile like glass?

No, they are made from durable, shatter-resistant plastic, making them much safer and more robust than traditional glass cloches.

How should I clean the cloches?

Clean them with plain water and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning chemicals.

Can I use these on larger plants?

The largest cloche measures 40cm wide and 31cm high. While suitable for many plants, very large or mature plants may require more extensive protection.

Troubleshooting

Cloche is unstable in windy conditions.

Ensure garden pegs are used through the pre-set holes to anchor the cloche securely into the soil. Consider using heavier soil or stones around the base for added stability if pegs are insufficient.

Excessive condensation inside the cloche.

Open the roof vent fully to increase airflow. If condensation persists, consider removing the cloche during the warmest part of the day or if the weather is particularly humid.

Plants appear to be overheating.

Ensure the roof vent is open. If temperatures remain high, consider partially lifting the cloche during peak sunlight hours or choosing a time when direct sun is less intense.

Pests are still getting inside.

Check that the base of the cloche is firmly seated into the soil, creating a seal. For persistent ground pests like slugs, consider adding a barrier around the base or using organic deterrents.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides effective protection against pests and adverse weather.
  • Warms soil and retains moisture for accelerated plant growth.
  • Lightweight and durable, reducing the risk of breakage.
  • Adjustable vent allows for climate control within the cloche.
  • Easy to secure to the ground, preventing movement.
  • Reusable and long-lasting for multiple seasons.

Cons

  • Plastic construction may not retain heat as effectively as glass in very cold conditions.
  • Requires manual adjustment of the vent for optimal airflow.
  • The largest size might be insufficient for very large or mature plants.
  • Pegs for anchoring are not explicitly mentioned as included, may need to be sourced separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose a suitable location for your plants.
  2. Place the cloche directly over the plant or area you wish to protect.
  3. Use garden pegs (not included) through the pre-set holes in the base to firmly secure the cloche to the soil. This prevents it from being blown away by wind or dislodged.
  4. Adjust the roof vent by rotating the top section to allow for adequate airflow, especially on warmer or more humid days.

Compatibility:

These cloches are compatible with most garden soils and can be used over a wide variety of plants, including seedlings, herbs, salads, vegetables, and ornamental flowers. They are suitable for use in raised beds, garden borders, and containers.

Care:

  • After use, clean the cloches with water and a soft brush or cloth to remove soil and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the plastic.
  • Store in a dry, safe place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the plastic over time.
  • Ensure the vents are clear of debris for proper function in subsequent uses.
