Crop Cover fabric (also referred to as floating row cover, frost blanket or over-wintering) acts as a protective greenhouse by trapping heat and guarding against light frosts. Made from spun bond polypropylene, it allows water, air, sunlight and soluble fertilizers to pass through. Because of its permeability, it vents air and excess moisture leading to increased plant growth. It also protects against insects and drying winds.
Extend your growing season with Crop Cover fabric!
Crop Cover can extend the growing season by 2-3 months in colder climates. In mild to moderate climates, it can allow for yearlong growing. When installed correctly it can also protect against bugs and pests.
When used in tandem with Veggie Booster Mulch, you can ensure that your plants will be protected from cold winter temperatures. This system has enabled us to grow lettuce starting as late as January! Check out our blog post here to learn more about this system for winter gardening!
Floating Row Fabric Installation Instructions
Simply drape over plants. Edges should be lightly covered with soil or weighted down to protect against garden pests and to prevent wind mishaps. Can also be used for winter wrapping shrubs and small trees.
Note: Remove cover for pollination on flowering plants.
