You will find you have to lay it flat, it won't stand up on end it's too
floppy. :-)

Seriously though I don't think there is a right side up, unless you have
something special.

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.

Fleece isn't normally black, it looks like ... fleece.

It seems he is talking about a weed barrier, not fleece. As for which
way up for that... I don't think it makes much of a difference, after
all, it's often covered with bark chipping, gravel or some such, yet
somehow, I always opted for shiny side up.

I think what you have is something called Mypex or one of its close
relations. It's used as a weed barrier. We have it black side up.

Horticultural fleece is off-white, very light and soft and is used to
wrap plants up against winter frosts.

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.

And the rain goes through it, does it?

Yes, though with a delay in heavy rain
