Troubleshooting
Fleece is not staying in place.
Ensure the Smart Fabric Pegs are securely inserted into the ground. Use more pegs if necessary, particularly in windy conditions. Consider using heavier pegs or stones to weigh down the edges.
Plants appear to be wilting or yellowing under the fleece.
Check for excessive heat build-up. Ensure adequate ventilation by slightly lifting the fleece on warmer days. Consider removing the fleece entirely if the weather is consistently warm.
Fleece is damaged.
Repair small tears with tape designed for outdoor use. For larger tears, consider replacing the damaged section or the entire fleece roll.
Pests are still reaching the plants.
Ensure that the edges of the fleece are securely sealed to the ground. Check for any gaps or openings that pests can exploit. Consider using additional pest control methods if necessary.
