Fleece Cloche Tunnels

Post: # 148460Post Penny Lane »

Hello Folks!

My mum gave me one of the above for my birthday to take down the allotment but I didn't use one when we grew veg instead of a lawn so how are they best utilised?

Are they used for a short space of time or are they permanent?

Thank you :flower:

Ours are only used whilst its cold and frost damage might occur, we just put in a couple of raspberry canes and currant bushes which are covered with the cloches until established :flower:

I got a couple for the first time this year with getting some early lettuce and carrots underway. I got fleece as we believed the rain would come through unlike poly so no watering.....but that doesn't seem to be happening? Is it an optical illusion and have my seeds been watered or doesn't fleece let in water?
