Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Measure the area or plant requiring protection.
- Use sharp scissors or a craft knife to cut the fleece to the desired size. Ensure you cut on a flat, stable surface.
- Gently drape the fleece over the plant, ensuring it covers all vulnerable parts. For taller plants or shrubs, use stakes or hoops to support the fleece and prevent it from compacting the foliage too much.
- Secure the edges of the fleece to the ground using garden pegs, stones, or soil to prevent wind from lifting it.
- For extra protection, fold the fleece over to create a double layer, securing both layers.
Compatibility:
This fleece is compatible with most garden plants, shrubs, and vegetables. It can be used directly on the soil, over plants, or in conjunction with garden structures like cloches, hoops, frames, and polytunnels.
Care:
- Store the fleece clean and dry in a sheltered location (e.g., a shed or garage) when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
- Avoid storing in direct sunlight, which can degrade the fabric over time.
- If the fleece becomes soiled, gently brush off excess dirt. Minor cleaning can be done with a damp cloth, but avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the fibers.
