Qualities and Advantages of GrowCover
GrowCover 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. 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, though a bit grubbier!
It is very easy to handle as
it is light in weight - GrowCover insect netting is only 43 grams 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.
The hole size is triangular shaped about 5mm high and width from 0 to 2mm. |
| 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 |

GrowCover will help your garden to be healthier and more productive.
