Frost Fabric / Row Covers

Use frost fabric to protect your tender plants from fall frosts, winter winds, strong summer sun and pests. At 30g/sq meter, it is also called a 'heavy weight' row cover or horticultural fleece. 

Benefits of Using Frost Fabric

1. Protects Plants from Frost Frost fabric acts as a barrier to shield plants from frost, maintaining a slightly higher temperature underneath and preventing frost damage. This is especially critical during unexpected cold snaps in early spring or late fall, or when overwintering plants.

2. Extends the Growing Season By providing a layer of insulation, frost fabric allows gardeners to extend their growing season, both in the spring and fall. This means you can start planting earlier and continue harvesting later into the year.

3. Enhances Seed Germination The fabric helps to create a more stable and warmer microenvironment for seeds, promoting better germination rates and faster growth of seedlings.

4. Shields Against Pests Frost fabric can also serve as a physical barrier against pests such as insects, birds, and small animals, protecting young plants from being eaten or damaged.

5. Protects from Wind and Sun It provides protection from harsh winds and excessive sun exposure, both in the summer and winter, which can damage delicate plants. This helps maintain the health and vitality of your garden. 

6. Lightweight and Breathable The fabric is lightweight and breathable, allowing sunlight, air, and moisture to reach the plants while providing the necessary protection. This ensures that plants do not overheat and receive adequate air circulation.

7. Reusable The fabric is both reusable and washable (no heat), so it can last multiple seasons.

8. Easily Cuttable The fabric cuts easily with scissors, and the edges do not fray, so it can be easily adapted to your specific space.
