Rigid Seeding Protection Nets & Protector Tubes
Many acres of newly planted tree seedlings have been destroyed due to animal damage. Seedling mortality can be halted by using protective barriers. Seedling protectors have years of successful long term protection from deer, elk, mountain beaver, rabbits, gophers, and other rodents. Seedling protectors were originally developed for Douglas Fir seedlings in the Pacific Northwest to physically prevent animals from reaching the growing plant. These efficient protectors have grown in popularity with foresters, businessmen and weekend planters.
 |
Rigid Seedling Protector Tubes are an inexpensive and effective method which greatly reduces clipping and browsing on dormant and growing tree seedlings. Rigid seedling protectors are made out of photo degradable material which deteriorates in about two years. Rigid seedling protectors are designed so that seedling height growth and form are not impaired, and are non hazardous to the forest ecosystem, domestic animals, or man.
Biodegradable materials can be added to ensure the tubes will degrade without exposure to ultraviolet light.

The Importance of Weed Control
Weeds and grasses grow faster than planted seedlings – taking nutrients from the soil around your seedlings and blocking the sunlight they need in order to grow.
In order for your seedlings to survive and grow, you must aggressively control weeds and grasses until your seedlings are safely established.
Several types of weed control can be effective:
1 – Herbicide spraying (provided you protect your seedlings from contact herbicides with Jump Start™ Treeshelters)
2 – Mechanical cultivation
3 – Mulching with organic material such as wood chips
4 – Weed mats – both organic and synthetic
Caution: Mowing is not weed control! Mowing allows your seedlings to get more sunlight, and can reduce rodent habitat, but mowing does NOT prevent weed roots from absorbing the nutrients your seedlings need (in fact, mowing invigorates grass so it steals more nutrients!).
All forms of weed control have pro’s and con’s. It’s a matter of optimizing the pro’s, minimizing the con’s, and choosing the right weed control method for your needs. NO MATTER WHICH METHOD OF WEED CONTROL YOU CHOOSE, THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO DO IT, AND DO IT WELL!
