What is Horticultural Fleece ?

Horticultural fleece or garden fabric is a sheet of material that can be used to cover plants. It is similar to plastic sheeting that is often used for similar purposes, but there are some significant differences. Limitations of plastic sheets include that they are heavy and difficult to manipulate and that they tend to overheat during the day and fail to insulate enough at night. Using horticultural fleece as an alternative to plastic has become more popular with gardeners. It is made from polypropylene, and is more like a fabric than plastic. It is similar to fleece clothing, but is thinner and lighter. Garden fleece is lightweight, soft, and warm.
