Film sheet

Film covers and non-woven materials remain essential tools in the arsenal of a modern agronomist and gardener. The use of these sheets allows for effective management of the microclimate in the plot: protecting seedlings from devastating temperature fluctuations and the scorching sun, as well as extending the growing season of crops. Proper organization of covering structures is a key condition for obtaining an early harvest and successful cultivation of transplants in a variable climate.

In this selection, we have collected practical materials dedicated to plant protection technologies using synthetic materials. Readers will find here detailed guides on the self-construction and heating of film hotbeds, as well as advice on choosing and installing agricultural fleece. The articles cover both simple methods for setting up temporary covers and more complex techniques, such as the "double film" technology. By studying these materials, you will be able to optimize the process of growing vegetable crops and minimize the risks associated with spring frosts.
