Troubleshooting
Fleece tears easily
Handle the fleece with care, especially when unfolding and placing it. Avoid dragging it across rough surfaces. Consider reinforcing edges with tape if repeated tearing occurs in specific areas.
Plants appear slightly yellow or less vigorous
Ensure the fleece is not obstructing too much light for too long. If prolonged covering is necessary, try to lift or remove the fleece during sunny daylight hours. Check that air can still circulate underneath.
Wind keeps lifting the fleece
Secure the edges more thoroughly using additional garden pegs, heavier weights, or by burying the edges slightly into the soil. For taller plants, ensure any supporting frame is stable.
Pests still manage to get under the fleece
Ensure the fleece is tucked securely around the base of the plant or into the soil all the way around to eliminate gaps where pests can enter.
