Horticultural fleece: which way up?
Never noticed a diffence is sides Fred.......can you describe
you have?

Black and shiny on one side, pale grey and fibrous on the other.


um, thats sounds more like a root barrier, ie something dug into the
ground to prevent something like say, bamboo, from spreading.
I mean, "black"... how does the light get in?


I _think_ this stuff is to stop weeds but it lets the water in for
nearby plants. If I'm right, light isn't needed.

Horticultural fleece is a translucent sheet that you put over plants so
that they grow in protected environment underneath - a sort of
unsupported cold frame.


Ok, so it seems that what I have isn't horticultural fleece. It's as
described in . My apologies if I've been
causing confusion.
