Using Fleece & Mesh Covers for Warmth, Wind & Pest Protection | No Dig Gardening

Using fleece for early warmth, then mesh for pest and wind protection — simple covers that really help plant growth.

There are so many ways to use covers, which can benefit your plantings.

The two main ones I like are fleece which gives warmth, for early growth the weather is warmer in May. After that, I'm using mainly mesh, of the finest grade, to exclude both insects and to keep pigeons off as well. Fortunately, I do not have pigeons eating my peas, they are more difficult to protect.
