Tips and ideas

Anyone, even a highly experienced gardener or vegetable grower, cannot influence the weather. Sudden spring frost on the soil can greatly harm the plants. Therefore, to protect them, it has long been customary to use covering material for beds.

It is difficult to say which type of protective covering is better. Summer residents quite successfully used as proven traditional burlap or plastic film, and new materials. These include materials made of polypropylene fiber, produced by the “spunbond” technology, which are environmentally friendly lightweight nonwoven materials.

If the plastic film is absolutely air- and moisture-proof, then the spunbond creates the minimum barrier for penetration of necessary light, water and air through its pores.

Plants under it develop in a favorable microclimate, and you can water them right through it.

Technology and application features

Spunbond technology is a method for the production of small-diameter chemical fibers. They are resistant to acids, alkalis, microorganisms and have a small proportion. Here, man-made fibers are usually obtained by extruding (pushing) a polypropylene melt through a multitude of thin capillaries in the spinneret. Being laid in a canvas in a softened state, the threads (fibers) are glued together, and the resulting non-woven fabric, often called spunbond, as the technology of its production.

Usually spunbond for beds sold under these brands:

Agrospan 17 or Agrospan 30
AgroSUF 17 or AgroSUF 30
Lumitex 17 or Lumitex 30
Lutrasil 17 or Lutrasil 30

Apply spunbond this way. Immediately, as soon as the seedlings are planted or seeds are sown, a roll of covering cloth is unfolded in the garden and sprinkled with earth in several places along the edges. So that the plants do not press down as they grow, the canvas is periodically lifted. Watering the beds and making water-soluble mineral fertilizers directly through agro protection.

Protection of beds

Here cloths with a density from 13 to 30 g / m2 belong.

They harness the beds as farmers in large areas, and gardeners or gardeners, as the paintings are low prices, and their service life can be several seasons.
They are the thinnest of all available analogues and serve as a good protection for young plants from heat or cold, including a short-term decrease in temperature to -2 ° C.
Serve as excellent protection of crops and shoots from birds and insects.
The structure of the nonwoven fabric is capable of transmitting light, air and moisture, thus creating the required microconditions for the steady growth of plants.
Agrocoal will provide a bountiful harvest of vegetables, ripening two weeks earlier than usual.

Shelter arc greenhouses and greenhouses

For covering arc greenhouses and frame greenhouses using non-woven fabric with a density of 35 to 60 g / m2.

They can also be sheltered from freezing in winter, seedlings of shrubs and trees.

This blanket allows air and water to pass through, and also protects plants from lowering the temperature to -3-4 ° С and exposure to cold fogs.

Under such protection in a greenhouse (greenhouse) a microclimate favorable for the development of crops is created, which leads to an increase in their growing season.

The canvas has high strength; Available with the addition of a UV stabilizer, which extends its service life to three seasons.

Available under the following brands:

Agrospan 42 or Agrospan 60
AgroSUF 42 or AgroSUF 60
Lumitex 42 or Lumitex 60
Lutrasil 42 or Lutrasil 60

How to protect plants from wind and frost (video)

Black spunbond

Black covering spunbond material prevents the growth of weeds in the garden beds, and also protects lawns from erosion by rains or drying out in the summer.

Its use inhibits weeds, evenly distributes moisture in the soil under the canvas and contributes to the fact that the earth warms faster.

Gardeners artificial mulch is used to prevent the contact of berries and fruits with the ground.

Agroprotection of this type can ensure a successful wintering of plants during winters with little snow. Mulchu also cover the trunks of trees for the winter.

The material has the highest density of all existing non-woven agropoloten - 40-60 g / m2.

Usually it is sold under the brands:

Agrospan 60
Agril 60
Lumitex 60
Lutrasil 60

Covering cloth is used throughout the growing season of fruits. The rolls of the bedspread are rolled out before planting on previously prepared soil and sprinkled with earth in several places along the edges.

In those places where plants are planted, cruciate cuts or round cuts are made.

Use of agromichi

reduces the amount of watering and evaporation of soil moisture;
provides fast warming up of the soil and continuous maintenance of the required temperature;
prevents soil contamination of fruits and berries, prevents rotting and moldy soil and plants;
limits weed growth, including perennial;
reduces the amount of herbicides and pesticides.

The soil covered with mulch does not undergo compaction, remains loose while the fruit growing season continues without any additional cultivation. Being left on the soil in winter, mulch serves as a reliable protection for plant roots from freezing. Its black color contributes to the absorption of thermal radiation. For the cultivation of heat-loving melon crops it is very important.

As you could understand, all the numerous trademarks of covering nonwoven spunbod materials have approximately the same properties, but different purpose, determined by their density.

Therefore, choosing such protection for a specific purpose (shelter beds, greenhouses or mulching), pay attention to the two-digit number in the designation of its brand, which represents its "conditional" density.
