As a gardener you will be familiar with ordinary spun bonded
row cover and it has served gardeners and farmers well, but it has a short life.
Now there is an alternative long lasting polyethylene GrowCover fabric that provides a
wonderful growing environment for your plants and vegetables.
GrowCover fabric create a
micro-climate which is naturally ventilated (no heat build up, mold, and
related problems) plus it retains moisture and soil heat. |

 |
Plants just love it and you will enjoy fresh tasty home grown
vegetables that delight your family and are the envy of your friends.
Add to these advantages excellent insect pest control, a shade factor of only 16%, shielding
from high winds, heavy rain and hail, add frost protection down to 25oF
and you will understand why GrowCover really is a leap forward in row cover
design. |
|
No longer will you be at the
mercy of every climate extreme that Mother Nature can throw at you. Whether you use it as floating row cover or as cover for a
hoop house your GrowCover will perform flawlessly.
Handling it on hoop houses is a breeze. Want to lift your fabric to weed or
harvest? Just unclip it push it up the
hoop and hold it place with the clip until you have finished, then let it fall
again and replace the clip at the bottom |
Rain will pass through GrowCover and you can also water through it with a hose.Trickle or drip irrigation is recommended as it conserves water and puts water just where the plants need it near their roots. (When GrowCover is brand new there is some
water repellent action but this soon disappears). |
 |
 |
No longer will you have to worry about accidental tears and
rips with normal handling. GrowCover is tough and you can
clip, clamp or stake it without worrying about accidentally ripping the fabric. It is knitted not bonded with resistance to tears. It can easily be cut to size with scissors and does not fray when cut. If it does snag on sharp objects it is easily repaired with a needle and thread. |

You don't need to treat your row cover with kid
gloves as you do for spun bonded material in the hope that it will, with luck,
last two seasons. Indeed commercial
growers don’t even bother. They just rip
it up and trash it and buy new for the next year.
GrowCover will last, performing well, for many
years. The manufacturer claims 8 years
and we at VeggieCare bought our first piece of GrowCover for our own garden 5 years ago. It is still in use and performing well. For all
gardeners this represents not only actual cash savings but also a better use of
scarce resources and a reduction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. |
If you are a commercial grower you can do the math on the back of an
envelope and immediately see that GrowCover will repay your
investment year after year.
You can choose GrowCover from three standard widths:
6' 6" (2m)
9'9" (3m)
13' (4m)
and is available in packs from 20' to 50' in length
or you can have it custom cut
if you
need longer lengths
(GrowCover is manufactured in Italy
to metric specifications so
feet and inch sizes are approximate) |

But why does GrowCover
work so well?
Every
gardener knows that vegetables grow better when damage from insects and
bad weather is minimised. Frequently nature isn't too helpful that way.
It is too hot, or too dry, or too windy or too cold. So plants have
to struggle and contend with insect pests as well.
But
GrowCover smoothes out all these problems because it creates a gentle
micro-climate. It helps to retain moisture in the soil without causing
excessive heat build up or condensation because it allows good air
circulation. It protects from strong winds and if the weather is cool
or cold it helps retain warmth in the soil so you can plant out
earlier. It even protects against frost down to about 25 oF
(-4 oC).
So it is hardly
surprising that your vegetables grow so well!
