Chimney Sheep 100 Percent Pure Sheep Wool Natural Garden Fleece - plastic-free protection for plants, 4m x 1.7m

• Drape it over the bed or a single plant before a frost. Wool traps a layer of still air around the leaves, which is what actually keeps the cold off.
• The usual garden fleece is polypropylene. It works, it tears, and it sheds plastic fibres into your soil for the next few decades. This one is made without any.
• 4m x 1.7m, which covers 6 square metres. Use it whole over a bed or cut it down to wrap individual plants and pots.
• It breathes and lets rain and light through, so plants underneath carry on growing rather than sweating.
• Made from pure sheep wool. It composts when it is finished. 10% of profit goes to Buy Land Plant Trees CIC.

This is a garden fleece made of pure sheep wool rather than the usual polypropylene. You drape it over a bed or an individual plant ahead of a frost, and it traps a layer of still air around the leaves, which is what actually does the protecting. It breathes, and it lets rain and light through, so what is underneath keeps growing rather than sweating in a bag. The reason to choose wool over the synthetic version is straightforward: polypropylene fleece tears after a season or two and sheds plastic fibres into your soil, where they stay. This one is made without any plastic at all and composts at the end of its life. It measures 4m x 1.7m - 6 square metres - and can be used whole over a bed or cut down to wrap individual plants and pots. It also gives some protection against pests. 10% of profit goes to Buy Land Plant Trees CIC.
