Cloche Protection

Cloche

Cloches come in all sizes and shapes up to and including industrial sized plastic tunnels. For the amateur gardener some cloches will help protect and bring on crops.

Used most notably in the vegetable plot they also have an appeal for the alpine gardener. Many alpines resent wet soggy winters and a strategically placed cloche can be a boon. Cloches used in this way keep snow and rain off the crown and leaves of plants.

Recycled works produce a ridgid plastic cloche for under £20 but it looks a bit opaque to me.
