Know before you buy
Yes. The fabric is water-permeable, meaning rain and irrigation can pass through it to reach the soil without needing to remove the cover.
The 1.5 oz weight is designed to provide a moderate level of thermal protection, typically shielding plants from light frosts and temperature dips. It acts as a barrier to trap heat while still allowing the plant to breathe.
No, you do not need to remove it daily. Because the material is breathable and allows light to pass through, it can be left on your plants throughout the growing season to provide consistent protection.
While it is listed for weed control, its primary strength is as a protective cover for crops. It will suppress weeds by blocking sunlight, but it is best utilized for extending your growing season and shielding plants from harsh weather.
You can secure the edges using landscape staples, heavy stones, or soil. Ensure the fabric is pinned down firmly enough to prevent it from blowing away in high winds while leaving enough slack for your plants to grow underneath.
