Fleece fabric 2 x 2.40

Unit price perFleece fabric (also known as acrylic fabric or horticultural fleece) is a thin, lightweight, and water-permeable fabric made of polypropylene. In gardening and agriculture, it is primarily used to protect plants and crops against weather conditions and pests.
Key functions of fleece fabric
- Frost protection: It creates a microclimate that protects vulnerable plants, shrubs, and young crops from night frost and cold winds in early spring or autumn.
- Harvest advancement: Due to the heat that is trapped under the fabric, the soil warms up faster. This ensures that seeds germinate earlier and crops grow more quickly.
- Protection against insects and birds: It keeps out harmful insects (such as the carrot fly or cabbage fly) and prevents birds from picking at newly sown beds, without the need for chemical pesticides.
- Light, air, and water permeable: Unlike plastic film, fleece fabric breathes. Rainwater and sunlight pass right through, so the plants do not suffocate or dry out.
Application
Fleece fabric is laid loosely over the crops (like a 'floating' blanket) or stretched over hoops to form a tunnel. The edges are usually secured with ground pegs, stones, or sand to prevent it from blowing away.
