FAQs
What types of protection do the different covers offer?
Veggiemesh and Ultra Fine Veggiemesh protect against insects. Bird Netting and Butterfly Netting deter birds and butterflies. Fleece, Thermacrop, and Polythene provide warmth and protection against frost and cold.
Can these covers be used with any garden hoops?
These covers are designed specifically for Gardening Naturally green and black flexible hoops. While they might fit other hoops of similar dimensions, the best fit and performance are achieved with the intended hoops.
How do I secure the covers in windy conditions?
You can secure the covers using clips or pegs. For added stability in windy areas, ensure the edges are well-anchored to the ground and consider using heavier-duty pegs or additional tie-downs.
Are the covers permeable to air and water?
Yes, netting and mesh covers (like Veggiemesh and Butterfly Netting) allow air and moisture to pass through to your plants, while still offering protection.
Can I replace a cover without buying new hoops?
Absolutely. The covers are designed to be easily swapped out. This allows you to reuse your existing hoops and change the type of protection as needed throughout the year.
What is the best cover material for frost protection?
For frost protection, Fleece, Thermacrop, or Polythene covers are recommended as they help to retain warmth around your plants in colder weather.
What lengths are the tunnel covers available in?
The covers are available in various lengths, including 2.9m, 3.9m, 4.9m, and 5.9m, to accommodate different planting area sizes.
How should I clean and store the covers?
Clean off loose debris with a brush. Use a damp cloth for dirt, avoiding harsh chemicals. Ensure covers are dry before storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their condition.
Troubleshooting
Cover does not fit hoops securely.
Ensure you are using compatible Gardening Naturally hoops. Check that the cover is the correct length for your hoop setup. Use additional clips or pegs to secure the edges more firmly to the ground or hoops.
Netting or fleece tears easily.
Handle the material gently during setup and removal. Avoid excessive force. For areas prone to wind, consider using stronger pegs or additional support structures. Inspect for damage from pests or tools.
Plants are still being affected by pests/frost.
Verify that the correct type of cover is being used for the specific threat (e.g., Veggiemesh for insects, Fleece for frost). Ensure there are no gaps where pests or cold air can enter; seal edges of the cover effectively.
Water does not drain through netting.
Check that the netting is not clogged with soil or debris. Gently rinse the netting with water. Ensure the cover is angled slightly to encourage water run-off rather than pooling.
