Thermacrop
Thermacrop is made from strips of a very soft polyethylene making it much stronger than garden fleece. When laid over crops the added warmth will encourage the growth of seeds and young plants.

How to use
Cover the crop immediately after sowing or planting and secure on all sides. Allow some slack for the crop to grow.

Crops should not remain covered for more than six to eight weeks. Potatoes may be covered until the danger of frost has passed. Melons and courgettes can be covered for longer periods as they like a more humid environment.

To avoid your plants suffering "shock", remove Thermacrop during mild conditions (avoid bright sunshine and low temperatures).

Watering/Feeding
Just water and feed through the netting.

Cutting
Thermacrop can be cut with scissors

Care
Thermacrop can be washed on a "wool" cycle in the washing machine. It should last several years.

Note: Remove during flowering if crops depend on pollination by bees
