Spring in the Garden, Orchard, and Field – How Can Paraffin Help? 21 March 2025
The calendar says spring is just around the corner, bringing with it a time for intensive work in gardens, orchards, and agricultural fields. Whether you’re tending to plants around your home or managing large-scale crops, ensuring proper plant protection and maintaining tools and machinery is essential. This is where paraffin comes in—a reliable product for safeguarding both plants and equipment.
Discover how you can use Polwax products to effectively prepare for the spring season!
Paraffin for Plant Protection – An Effective Barrier Against Pests and Weather Conditions
Spring marks a period of intense plant growth. It’s also a delicate time when storing and transporting plants requires special attention. To provide them with the necessary protection, consider using paraffin-based products.
Polwax products available in our range help with:
• Graft protection – Paraffin forms a protective layer that prevents infections and supports the healing process known as callusing.
• Pest prevention – Paraffin-based treatments help limit the spread of certain insects by creating a barrier that restricts their access to plants.
• Reducing water loss – A thin layer of paraffin protects plants from excessive evaporation, which is particularly important when transporting and storing young seedlings.
Protecting Vineyards and Orchards with Frost Protection Torches
Spring frosts can pose a serious threat to vineyards and fruit trees. An effective solution is frost protection torches, which combine two protective methods: heating and smoke generation. They create greenhouse-like conditions in orchards and vineyards, shielding budding plants from sudden drops in temperature.
Why Are Frost Protection Torches Effective?
• Long burn time – Each torch burns for 8 to 10 hours, ensuring protection during critical nighttime temperature drops.
• Fire-resistant metal bucket with a lid and handle allows for quick and flexible placement depending on the terrain and wind direction.
• Reusable – Easy to extinguish by covering with the metal lid, allowing for relighting when needed.
• Quick and easy ignition thanks to a cardboard wick.
New in Our Offer!
Starting this year, we are also offering ECO torches, featuring a more environmentally friendly composition and reduced smoke emission, making them an even better choice for nature-conscious users.
Garden and Agricultural Equipment Maintenance – Paraffin to the Rescue!
It’s not just plants that need attention in the spring—gardening tools and agricultural machinery also require proper preparation for the season. Paraffin can be used to maintain and protect metal and wooden components of your equipment.
How Can You Use It?
• Protecting metal tools – Applying a layer of paraffin or petroleum jelly to shears, pruners, shovels, and saws prevents rust and increases durability. Its thick consistency adheres well to surfaces, creating a protective barrier against moisture and corrosion.
• Preserving wooden handles – Paraffin in various forms can protect wood from moisture and cracking, enhancing its resistance to damage.
If you want to effectively care for your plants and equipment, take advantage of Polwax paraffin products. We provide solutions that help farmers, orchardists, and gardeners ensure optimal protection and maintenance for their crops and tools.
