GARDEN FLEECE
What is it? Well you don`t have to keep sheep and I am not referring to your best jumper. This is horticultural fleece for use by smart gardeners. It is a very lightweight fibrous material that allows light, heat and rain through and will resist about 3 degrees of frost. Moor if used doubled.
Why use it? In a nutshell to protect your plants from birds, insects and, to some degree, from frost. It is particularly effective for keeping birds off of your newly sown peas. Just lay it flat over the site and peg down with tent pegs, or bricks, at reasonable intervals. For late sowings drape it over half hoops and leave it there until your peas are ready to be staked and it will eliminate the pea moth.
It will keep carrot fly away from, would you believe carrots, and, any number of pests away from any number of plants including fruit bushes. It will keep newly sown fine seed warm until the seedlings are established and, when folded makes a very soft seat for your garden chair.
Availability Just visit any garden centre or large diy store or, for a better bargain, browse through the ads in the popular garden magazines. Considering that it is re- useable over many years the price is very cheap. It will pay for itself more than once in the first year of use by improving the quality of your crops. It is usually available in 1 metre or 2 metre widths with the lengths being variable.
During the first year that I used it in my allotment it created quite a talking point and at the end of the season my results justified it`s use to the extent that the following year most of the other plot owners were using it. Now, several years on, it is used by almost all of the 24 gardeners at the site.
