We covered the full bed with horticultural fleece, which will let in the air, rain and most of the sun, but will keep out the insects as well as providing a sheltered environment. the reduction in wind and the slightly warmer temperature under the fleece will hopefully help the sweetcorn and courgettes which have not been doing very well with the recent cool and wet weather.
The leaves of the courgette plant can be seen under the woven fabric. We should have placed the fleece over this bed when it was planted.
