We have used similar units that were thin gauge plastic which doesn't hold up here in the mojave desert. They worked great but deteriorated after one season. The deserts dryness is hard on plastics. These newer savers are heavier gauge by quite a bit, so we should get more mileage out of them.

Extremely deceptive in their simplicity! Much more durable than the red plastic sheets and these tomato savers are reusable year after year. Strongly recommended for beginning or avid gardeners.

I used these this year on three of my tomato plants as an experiment. The plants that had these did grow faster and actually needed less water than those without. I bought another set just now so that I can use them on all of my tomato plants next year.

I had a few of these red rings already, so I planted 3 tomatoes in them, 3 in similar ones made of black plastic, and 3 without anything, all in the same row of my garden. The ones in the red rings grew better and yielded more tomatoes than the others; the black plastic was slightly better than nothing.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

When I bought my first set of these, it was because they were on sale cheap. They wee the old black ones. I can't tell you if the red really works better yet, as I bought these at the end of the season. What I can say is, I really like them. They have slots to put the legs of a tomato cage thru, if you use the cone-shaped kind. The keep weeds away from the base of the plant. They have a nice well that I put organic fertilizer in. The food then gets to the plant over a period of time as the water from rain or watering washes it into the soil. They snap together easily, even around an established plant. They conserve water by keeping the soil at the base of the plant from drying out so quickly.

The best things about these:
The two pieces so it can be put on easily after planting.
The color.
It keeps down weeds right next to plant.
Very sturdy.

This product is so easy to use. It keeps my tomato plants neat and easy to water.

I find them difficult to install, and there is no room to stake the tomatoes.

I like these for my tomatoe plants able to water the roots without the leaves.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

I had read that red mulch increased tomato production, but I wasn't willing to carpet my garden with red. These Tomato Savers seemed like a good alternative. While I can't say for sure they made a difference in production, because it is also dependent on weather and soil, I can say I had tomatoes earlier than my neighbor did. I can also say all of my tomato plants are covered with fruit, even though we had temperatures near 100 for two weeks early in the season. What I like best about these Tomato Savers is they let me target water right to the plant's roots and help avoid splashing the foliage with water and losing water to runoff. For that reason alone, I'd recommend them.

I'm willing to give these the entire season to determine if they were worth the money. Generally my tomatos begin to fruit in July and are ready to pick in early September.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

These also work great for my pepper plants.
The only thing I don't care for is that periodically you have to hill the dirt back up around the edge to keep the water where it belongs.

I have bought other tomato savers in the past. I much prefer these, they are easier to use. I love how my tomato plants grow so much faster with the use of this product.

A must have for anyone growing tomatoes.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

Used in our garden, because of weather we had a late start and they are helping us catch up.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

Used in tomato garden. Helps in watering the young plants. Keeps garden neater.
But I haven't pick tomatoes any earlier than usual.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

Help with watering and I notice it also traps certain types of worms. I will get more next season.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

difficult to use in a 3x6 raised bed.
roundness almost made them unusable.
square would be a good design for raised beds if they were 11.5 inches square.
round ones are not suitable for raised bed corners. can only be used outside the four corners.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

The fittings tend to lift up. I also notice that as I water into the troughs that the water does not saturate the soil. I am still watering around and through the plants to compensate. I am looking forward to an abundant harvest and will report more as fruit begins to matures.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

I had seen ads for these but was very sceptical. A test in my garden this year convinced me. The same variety of tomato planted in the same kind of earth box with the same soil developed MUCH faster. Unfortunately, the deer ate everything before I could harvest any tomatoes but the ones with the rings set fruit 2 weeks earlier.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

These get the water to where it is suppose to go without getting water on the tomato fruit.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

Don't know if the red color brings the magic it's supposed to but I certainly appreciate the way the savers allow me to direct the water to the plants and their roots...and being sure that I've thoroughly watered them.

Easy to use

I put the product a round my tomatos

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

I use the tomato savers every year. I haven't lost one plant to cutworms, weed growth near the plants is minimal and watering the plants is made easier. One thing I'm not sold on is the ability of the tomato savers to inspire growth as it reflects the proper wavelength of light. The plants almost completely shade the tomato savers.

Tomatoes and Peppers are great with this product.They control the grass that some how appears after planting.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

great results

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

These were easy to use. Kept cut worms away. Made watering the tomato plants easy. Don't know if the red color or the actual trays were any other benefit to the plants.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

I ordered these red trays along with your red tomato ladders. I naively thought the holes in the trays would be designed to accommodate the tomato ladders. Not so! My husband had to drill additional holes in the trays so that I could use them with the ladders. Why would these items not be made to automatically fit the other products (ladders and cages) that are most likely to be used with them? Otherwise, they seem to surpress weeds pretty good. I'm new at this so I don't have other growing experiences to compare in order to verify the claim about stimulating tomato growth.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

Although I bought these well after my tomato plants had been planted, the fact that they are in two pieces made then very easy to install.The results were ok , but I blame the results more on the soil. They are inexpensive and also maintain moisture while inhibiting weed growth

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

These tomato savers do prevent weeds , but so does a good mulch. Not sure I would pay to buy any more

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

useful not just for tomato plants - red is best color for tomato other colors would be fun for other plants. Keeps the weeds away from the stem & makes general weeding/hoeing easy.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

I was skeptical when I first decided to try these but they would be worth the cost if all that they did was cut down on the weeds. Helps with water usage by directing the water and acting as mulch.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

These tomato savers are easy to use and stay together well in the ground and around the tomatoes.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

Watering is the best part of these tomator savers; the water goes only in the saver, not everywhere else. Good for the plant and no waste.
I look forward to testing out the potential of the red color.

Comments about Red Tomato Savers, Set of 3:

So much nicer to plant, then put the savers around the tomatoes. Keeps water from washing away soil from roots of plants, and easier to fertilize.
