Cloches & Tunnels

To get the most out of your cloches and tunnels, combine them with mulching and proper irrigation techniques to keep soil moisture and temperature consistent. Regularly check ventilation, especially on warmer days, to guard against your plants overheating. If you need flexibility, consider using easy-to-move structures that let you adjust protection as your garden develops. Explore other plant protection options, such as greenhouses, to keep your crops safe throughout their growing cycle.

Which cloche is best for growing vegetables?

A long micromesh tunnel or apex cloche is ideal for growing vegetables. These cloches can cover entire rows, giving your plants consistent protection from weather and pests while still allowing light and moisture to reach them.

What is the best way to protect delicate plants over winter?

Use a combination of fleece tunnels and cloches to safeguard delicate plants from frost and cold winds during winter. Adding a layer of mulch around the roots can also help insulate them against the cold.

What is the best way to protect plants from pests?

Both micromesh tunnels and cloches are very effective for keeping pests at bay, creating a sturdy physical barrier that prevents access while still allowing light and air to penetrate.
