Hi I was wondering if anyone knew where to obtain this horticultural film which is sometimes called " microclima". It's a material which you cover plants with which lets in light and rain but protects from birds etc. thx.

Sounds like just another brand name for a generic idea called floating row
covers. They've been around for years. Do a google search for "garden
floating row cover" and you'll find plenty of sources, like this one:

the problem i am having is that the material i bought many years ago called "microclima" from italy is a woven heavy duty material. the bonded spun row covers i am seeing on the internet are the type of material i invested in last year and is so lightweight it rips and tears easily. it is non-woven. thx.

I made covers a few years ago using window screen attached to arch-shaped
fence wire tunnels. Very durable, and it never rips.
