What is Garden Fleece?

Garden fleece, also known as horticultural fleece, is a lightweight, synthetic material made from polyester or polypropylene.

It is used to cover plants and protect them from frost, wind, hail, and pests.

Benefits of Garden Fleece:

Keeps plants warm during cold weather, preventing frost damage. Shields plants from harsh winds and hail, which can cause physical damage.

How to Use Garden Fleece:

  1. Garden fleece can be easily cut to fit the size of your plants or garden beds.
  2. Drape the fleece over plants, ensuring it covers them completely.
  3. Use stakes, rocks, or other weights to anchor the fleece so it doesn't blow away.
  4. Check regularly to ensure the fleece remains in place and adjust as needed.

Tips for Using Garden Fleece:

  • Use garden fleece in early spring to protect young plants from late frosts.
  • Cover autumn crops like tomatoes to extend their growing season.
  • In windy climates, use fleece on the windiest days to protect delicate plants.
  • During harsh weather, such as hailstorms, cover plants to prevent damage.

How do I use 30g garden fleece for various plant protection?

  • Individual Shrub Protection: Wrap the fleece around shrubs and secure it with string at the base.
  • Greenhouse Insulation: Attach the fleece inside the greenhouse for a ‘double glazing’ effect using clips or sticky pads for aluminium greenhouses and drawing pins or sticky pads for wooden ones. It’s easy to install, remove, and reuse.
  • Protecting Bedding Plants: Use fleece overnight to protect bedding plants and other delicate plants being 'hardened off'.
  • Crop Protection: Cover crops like cauliflower during cold spells to prevent frost damage, but remove the fleece during mild, wet weather.
  • Protecting Early Potatoes: Cover early potatoes from planting until the frost risk has passed.

What are the benefits and care tips for 30g garden fleece?

30g garden fleece provides robust frost protection and can be reused multiple times if handled carefully. It can be easily cut with sharp scissors. Store the fleece out of direct sunlight and in a vermin-proof environment when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
