Garden fleece

I have just ordered a roll of
[align=left]Medium GARDEN FLEECE pro grade
I intend to start using it to warm the veg plot up before planting and then maybe as a protection afterwards.
Are there any hints and tips / pitfalls that may be heading my way?

Caps you would be better using a sheet of polythene anchored at the ends or cloches plastic or glass, the fleece would end up a soggy mess,you could put the fleece on the plants under the cloches for extra protection in cold spells.

 

I agree, black polythiene is far better for warming up the soil; it will also suppress weed germination while in place.

Make fleece tunnels by pushing cane sections into the ends of old hose piping to form arches of required size. Each hose with protruding canes is pushed into the ground at around 2ft distance thus forming arches over which the fleece is draped and anchored along its length, I used this method for first carrot and lettuce crops many times.
