I mean, "black"... how does the light get in? |

Black and shiny on one side, pale grey and fibrous on the other. 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. http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl...-8&sa=N&tab=wi Horticultural fleece is off-white, very light and soft and is used to wrap plants up against winter frosts. http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl...-8&sa=N&tab=wi -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials.

Ok, so it seems that what I have isn't horticultural fleece. It's as described in .
