Floating Row Covers
Protect crops from cold weather and extend the season with heavyweight covers
- Frost protection down to 24° F
- Allows 50% of sunlight and some air and water to pass through
- Extend your planting season in spring and fall
- Reusable
Almost three times thicker than our regular Floating Row Cover, but still light enough to be laid directly over plants, these covers allow you to plant your garden a week or two earlier with less risk of frost damage. They'll provide protection down to 24 °F, and for extra protection, use two layers. Great for extending late harvests of fall crops, too, like lettuce, spinach and chard, by at least several weeks. In milder areas, these heavyweight covers could allow you to pick greens all winter! The covers delay freezing of the soil, so you can leave carrots, turnips and other root crops in place and dig them as needed, well into icy weather. Each sheet lets 50% of sunlight pass through, and some air and water, so they can be left on plants for a few days. However, be sure to remove them as soon as the danger of frost is over, since plant growth can be slowed if the cover is left in place too long. It's especially important to remove covers on warm days, as heat will build up! With care, these covers are reusable season after season.
