Biofleece - Frost protection Netting for Plants

BioFleece is a 100% biodegradable, heavy-duty frost fleece that protects plants from cold weather down to -5°C. It creates an insulating air pocket around plants to reduce frost damage. Easy to cut and shape, BioFleece can be adjusted to fit any garden layout.

Year-Round Frost and Weather Protection for Plants

BioFleece® can be used all year round, though frost protection is most important between October and April.

How to Use This Eco-Friendly Garden Fleece

Ideal for tender flowers, shrubs, and early-season vegetables. Lay BioFleece directly over plants or drape it over a support frame. Secure the edges with pegs, soil, or stones. Remove the fleece for watering or to allow pollination. When covering flowering plants, lift the fleece during the day to let bees access blooms, then replace it in the evening as temperatures drop.

• Storage: Brush clean and store in a dark, dry place.
• Shelf life: Lasts up to two years – the same as traditional plastic fleece.
• Use: Frost protection.
• Product dimensions: 2 m wide and available in various lengths.

What Is Garden Fleece and How It Works

Garden fleece (also known as horticultural fleece) is a lightweight white fabric used to protect plants from cold and frost. It provides a layer of insulation that traps warmth around plants while allowing air, light, and moisture to pass through.

Why Choose BioFleece for Sustainable Gardening?

Most garden fleeces are made from petroleum-based plastics like polypropylene or polythene. BioFleece is made from plant-based PLA, offering the same reliable protection without plastic. It is available in two grades:

• BioFleece 18 (18gsm): Lighter fleece for mild frost, protects down to -1°C.
• BioFleece 30 (30gsm): Heavy-duty fleece for colder conditions, protects down to -5°C.

BioFleece® performs just like standard plastic fleece while being fully biodegradable and compostable after use.
