Product Reviews
Good quality fleece which stands up to the windy weather that we have here. Has worked extremely well as a temporary cloche which covered the veg patch during our very cold spring. Beetroot, turnip and carrots continued to grow quite well with the additional warmth. It has been stapled to 2 lengths of wood which allowed me to cover the bed at night or on very cold days and then roll it up when not required. The fleece has stood up to this very well. Excellent service from Harrods
Very good quality - was concerned it would tear when bad weather returned for a while but all intact and my runner beans are doing very well
EXPERT FLEECE ADVICE
Our horticulturalist, Martin Fiddes, was quoted in Telegraph Gardening on the subject of fleece and the benefits of using this material in the winter.
Here's what he had to say; "Fleece is the best option as a temporary protection against frost. It is light enough to be laid over plants without any support and easy to take up again. It comes in 17 gram and 30 gram weights; the 17 gram weight will protect to just below freezing, whereas the heavier 30g fleece will protect down to 28F-26F (-2C or -3C).
It’s important to remember to take up the fleece after frost has passed – it may keep plants snug but pests like it under there too. Fleece also blocks light at a time of year when light levels are low."
The article went on to say the following about other devices capable of warding off frosts. "...there are polythene, poly tunnels, lightweight cloche systems, ingenious support devices that convert raised beds into tunnels, and variations on the classic cold frame. Specialist suppliers such as Harrod Horticultural...are excellent one-stop shops for all plant protection supplies."
Can you manage without fleece and other such materials and products this winter, spring and autumn?
