Wanted Horticultural fleece.

[Gramaisc]

Anybody know of a source of decent horticultural fleece? A lot of the stuff that's about seems rather diaphanous these days.

 

[Carole]

What on earth is horticultural fleece?

As opposed to any other fleece?

Is it a sheep?

This sort of thing.

A sheep would be too heavy.

Oh, you are looking for a nice looking young man in a Christmas jumper.

Why?

So he can do my garden for me..

..and locate some of the nice fleece he's holding - for my Dad..

You are going to leave yer dad out in the snow?...Poor bugger.

I got two fleece bags from Wilkos earlier this year, they have ties round the bottom to stop them blowing off.

Hope this helps...Ecker.

It's my Mum's idea - he makes the place look untidy.

I'll have a look round - maybe his old fleece has just worn thin...

 

[Carole]

Dont get fleeced.

I think Homebase sell it on a massive roll -

You have to wave down a shop assistant to help you cut it as you cant be trusted on your own with scissors...

I will have a look in there - and take my own machete.

Had a look in Wilkos at 14:30 on friday. They have fleece tubes for single plants, jackets for rows of plants and rolls of the stuff.

 

[Gramaisc]

Thanks, all.

I had a quick look round just now - the roll at Homebase is outside and is soaked through - I'll wait for a dry day..

The Wilko's stuff looks plausible...

I'll try to get some idea of preferred dimensions....
