A plant protection device comprises a ground cover 1 which is raised toÂwards a ridge 2 near outer edge 3 and sloped downwards towards centre hole 4. An area 5 adjacent to the outer edge is in contact with the ground. Centre hole 4 is placed around the plant stem, area 11 adjacent to the central hole being in contact with the ground. A slot 6 joins the centre hole to the outer edge allows the device to be placed around the plant without damaging the stem or branches. A lightproof, waterproof and weatherproof adhesive tape may be applied to the slot to seal the slot against light ingress and water loss. Holes 8 accommodate pegs 9 to secure the protector to the ground 10. The device may be made from a lightproof material to prevent weed growth. |
