Plant Protection – Gone with the Wind

Wind might be good for producing energy, but it can mean death for your plants. Wind can dry out plants and the surrounding soil to the point that they don’t have enough moisture to live. You can install protective cloth fencing or an attractive trellis to break the effects cold wind can have on your plants. If your plants are in pots, move them to a wind-protected area near your house – or bring them inside.

Have you had any plants suffer from irreparable wind damage?
