Biofleece - Biodegradable Frost protection Netting for Plants

This biodegradable garden frost fleece is a plant covering used to reduce cold weather damage. It forms a light insulating layer around plants which helps reduce frost exposure during colder nights.

The breathable material allows air, water and sunlight to pass through while keeping plants covered during cold periods.

It is suitable for gardeners and allotment growers protecting vegetables, flower and young plants during colder months.

Biodegradable frost fleece made from plant based PLA material

This garden fleece is produced from PLA fibres derived from corn starch. The material behaves like standard horticultural fleece while gradually breaking down after extended outdoor use.

The lightweight fabric can be cut or shaped to suit beds, frames, containers and growing areas.

Garden frost fleece insulation for plant protection in cold weather

The fleece traps a thin layer of air around plants which helps maintain warmer conditions close to leaves and stems. This helps reduce frost exposure on tender growth.

The material is breathable so moisture and light continue to reach plants while they remain covered.

Biodegradable garden fleece grades for different frost levels

Two thickness options are available depending on the level of cold protection required.

• BioFleece 18 18gsm protects plants down to approximately minus 1 degrees Celsius.
• BioFleece 30 30gsm protects plants down to approximately minus 5 degrees Celsius.

Garden frost fleece sizes for beds and vegetable growing areas

The fleece is supplied in roll lengths suitable for different garden layouts.

• 2m x 5m suited to smaller beds and plant rows.
• 2m x 10m suited to medium garden beds or several crop rows.
• 2m x 20m suited to larger beds, allotments and extended planting areas.

Using biodegradable frost fleece on plants and garden structures

The fleece can be placed directly over crops or supported with garden hoops or frames. Edges can be secured using pegs, soil or stones to prevent wind movement.

During flowering stages the fleece can be lifted temporarily to allow pollinating insects to reach plants.

Biodegradable frost fleece lifespan and composting after use

The PLA plant fleece normally lasts up to two growing seasons in outdoor conditions before gradual breakdown begins. After use the material can be added to compost where it decomposes naturally.

This reduces plastic waste compared with conventional horticultural fleece materials.
