Post by: tim on April 28, 2008, 06:22:35
Does it give any frost protection?

In still weather, it must do as it's going to impede the air circulation. You don't get late frosts unless the air is still, and I've often noticed that the slightest thing is enough to keep it off. Hard frost is something else of sourse, and if any serious frost is forecast, it wouldn't hurt to put fleece over it. But my guess is that it'll keep the unexpected light frost off.

Thanks, Robert. So much easier to handle than fleece, which drives me mad!

I get mine off e-bay:

Came to about £27 for a 2mx50m roll inc p&p but they haven't got any at the moment.  Do a search on there and see what you can find.
