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.
