Using wider burlap for gardening more efficiently

The Toronto parks department phonied in their annual order of burlap used  to protect trees and saplings in the Toronto area parks over the winter ( Another satisfied customer and a wonderful endorsement)



I had time to have a short discussion with the buyer, He was not aware that we had 60 inch wide burlap as well. In the past they bought our 40 inch wide rolls. he asked me to wait a while and called back and told me that they had determined that the parks employees will be able to work at a 50-60% higher efficiency by using the wider burlap .


They were so pleased with  this new find. As the new mandate of our elected officials is to cut costs.  I am posting this in my effort to share this finding with our  regular customers . The full rolls of burlap can still be shipped by FedEx.

A reminder to my customers when you make the windbreak, surround with burlap or jute, DO NOT use plastic as the plant will suffer sunburn and cook on a sunny day

 The only use of plastic in your yard is around the base of you want to protect against rabbits and other rodents that gnaw at base of trees.
