"This is very simple to use, coming pre-assembled with wire hoops which simply push into the ground. The tunnel is 3m (10') long and 45cm (1' 6") wide - big enough for a good size row. There is also a 'giant' version which is wider and higher. The fleece insulates your seedlings but allows water to filter through at the same time. It also blocks out strong sunlight and can be used as a summer cover to keep insect pests at bay."

"Protect Plants and Pots... By wrapping pots up in a horticultural insulating fleece or jacket pot, you can prevent too much frost damage. The thin fabric lets light and water in but keeps the plants warm underneath. They will stay snug and protected till late winter when you can remove it." Garden Planner, Your Home magazine, June 2008
