Default Frost protection.

I was wondering how a fleece can let in enough light over winter months to
allow growth of my overwintering peas, broad beans, winter and spring
cabbage. Does a fleece work? Or should I put a polythene mimi tunnell over
them.

I lost everything last winter, even the hardiest(so called) of them.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Baz

I have used fleece, the biggest problem is that rain does not get through.

fleece is better - allows some air movement - stil air allows mositure to
freeze out - so I'm told
