Qualities and Advantages of GrowCover

GrowCover and GrowCover HD insect netting is knitted from thin, but amazingly strong, high density UV stabilized polyethylene thread (see picture below). Despite its light weight it is extremely strong and with normal use will protect your plants from insect attack and bad weather for many years. The manufacturer claims up to eight years for both GrowCover and GrowCover HD. VeggiePatch first bought a piece of GrowCover in 2005. It has been used continuously in the garden and is still as effective as when new.

It is very easy to handle as it is light in weight - GrowCover insect netting is only 35 grams per square metre and GrowCover HD, a heavier duty fabric  of 80 gm per square metre. Use for row covers, hoop houses and tunnels. Access to your plants is a breeze. Just unclip the fabric from its frame and lift it up. Anyone can do it, it is so light.

GrowCover HD is ideal for semi permanent structures, greenhouses and shelters.
It is less stretchy and firmer than GrowCover. Rain does not penetrate quite so easily and irrigation under the GrowCover HD is recommended.
GrowCover HD needs to be secured firmly to the frame or ground as it affected more by strong winds because it is a heavier fabric.

GrowCover is permeable to air and water, it  prevent overheating, excessive humidity and condensation common with the use of plastic covers and creating an ideal growing environment
