Original Bells can be used for warming soil
prior to sowing seeds and planting out. They encourage stable and healthy
growth of seedlings, tender and semi-hardy plants. Original Bells conserve warmth, direct rainwater and moisture into the surrounding soil and protect leaves against damage. Uses include over-wintering of herbaceous borders, and less hardy perennials, growing winter lettuces, encouraging early crops of fruit, vegetables and salads and establishing kitchen herb gardens. Made from high grade UV stabilised plastic. Original Bells now come with an Air Vent for improved ventilation and humidity control and ground pegs to hold your Bells secure. Diameter: 13" (34cm) Height: 10" (25cm) |

'Cloche' is a French word meaning 'Bell' (The modern
gardener has expanded the original meaning of the word cloche to
also mean 'tunnel covering'). 'Bell Jar' cloches were used by gardeners in the Victorian era and were
originally made from hand blown glass.
