Optimal Frost Protection for Healthy Winter Gardens
The Importance of Using Fleece for Frost Protection
Fleece is an essential tool for gardeners looking to shield their plants from frostbite and freezing temperatures. It acts as a blanket for your garden, trapping heat and maintaining a warmer microclimate around your plants. Using fleece not only extends your growing season but also ensures that young shoots and flower buds survive the winter unscathed.
Choosing the Right Fleece: Weight Matters
While lighter fleeces (17-30 grams) are commonly used, opting for thicker 50-gram fleece offers superior durability and insulation. Thicker fleece not only withstands multiple seasons of use but also provides enhanced protection against severe cold, significantly reducing the risk of crop damage. This investment in higher-quality fleece pays off by maintaining a steadier temperature and better shielding your plants from frost.

Securing Fleece with Garden Pins
Properly securing fleece is crucial to its effectiveness. Use garden pins to anchor the fleece firmly to the ground, ensuring it covers your plants completely without any gaps where cold air could enter. This method prevents the fleece from being blown away by the wind and keeps it in place to provide continuous protection. Our garden pins are designed for easy insertion and removal, offering a reliable and reusable solution for securing garden covers.
