Film covers and modern agrotextile materials are key tools for microclimate management in a home garden. Using such covers allows agronomists and gardeners to protect crops from adverse weather conditions, including frosts and scorching sun, as well as to effectively combat pests. A properly selected material and a well-constructed cover accelerate the ripening of vegetable crops, increase soil temperature, and significantly increase total yield, creating optimal conditions for plant development at all stages — from growing transplants to obtaining finished products.
This collection contains practical recommendations on the selection, assembly, and operation of various types of structures: from small-sized film tunnels and frameless covers to stationary arched and ridge greenhouses. You will find detailed advice on working with polymer films and non-woven agrotextiles, learn methods for DIY material repair, rules for preparing hotbeds for the season, and specific features of maintaining frame structures. The presented materials will help systematize knowledge about modern methods of plant protection, facilitate the assembly process of covers, and extend the service life of materials used on the farm.
