This heavy-duty, ultra-lightweight fleece crop cover from Coopers of Stortford is designed for gardeners looking to protect their plants from harsh winter elements. Its primary benefit is creating a cosy micro-climate that shields plants from frost, wind, and cold down to -8°C, promoting healthy growth. A potential caveat is its specific size compatibility, requiring a crop cage of L1.8 x W0.9m for optimal fit. Key features include its non-woven fabric construction, breathability, reusability, and convenient zip opening with ground securing spikes.

The fleece crop cover creates a micro-climate that can keep plants safe in temperatures as low as -8°C.
While designed for a specific cage size, you could potentially use it over other supports. However, securing it effectively and ensuring a proper fit might require improvisation.
The cover is breathable, allowing for some moisture exchange. Water as you normally would, but monitor soil moisture levels as the cover can help retain some humidity.
The fleece is water-resistant to some degree, but it is not fully waterproof. It offers protection against light to moderate rain but may not keep plants completely dry in prolonged heavy downpours.
Ensure the cover is clean and completely dry before storing. Fold it loosely and keep it in a dry, dark place, such as a shed or garage, away from direct sunlight.
The cover measures L1.8 x W0.9 x H1.2m. It is designed to fit crop cages of L1.8 x W0.9m.
It is made from 100% non-woven fabric.
Ensure the crop cage dimensions are close to L1.8 x W0.9m. Adjust draping and re-secure spikes firmly into the ground.
Check for adequate ventilation. Ensure the fabric is not excessively compacted and that the ground is not waterlogged. The breathability of the fabric should mitigate most moisture issues.
Gently moisten the ground before attempting to insert spikes, or use a rubber mallet with caution. If ground is extremely hard, consider alternative securing methods like heavy stones.
Gently pull the fabric taut around the zip area. Lubricate the zip with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax if needed.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This cover is designed to fit crop cages measuring L1.8 x W0.9m. While it can be used over other structures, the fit may not be optimal, and the securing method might need adjustment.
Care:
To clean the fleece cover, gently brush off loose soil and debris. For more thorough cleaning, hand wash with cool water and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely before storing. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the fabric. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong its lifespan.
