Agrotextile Springos AG0026 70 g/m², 1.1 x 50 m — garden frost protection and ground cover

Agrotextile Springos AG0026 70 g/m² in black is a spunbond nonwoven polypropylene fabric designed for garden and agricultural applications. With a surface weight of 70 g/m², a width of 1.1 m and a length of 50 m, this agrotextile offers frost protection for seedlings and plants, suppresses weed growth and helps retain soil moisture. The material is breathable and lightweight, with a thickness of approximately 0.2 mm and a dimensional tolerance of ±3%, making it easy to cut, lay and fix in place for a variety of outdoor uses.

Advantages

The fabric provides thermal insulation that reduces the risk of frost damage while allowing air and water vapor to pass through, supporting plant respiration. Its black colour reduces light penetration to the soil surface, limiting weed germination and lowering maintenance needs. The polypropylene construction resists tearing during normal handling and includes UV protection to extend service life under outdoor exposure. Lightweight and easy to handle, the roll format simplifies covering rows, beds or individual plants.

Suitable for

• Protecting seedlings and young plants from late spring or early autumn frosts
• Covering vegetable rows and garden beds to suppress weeds
• Maintaining soil moisture and moderating soil temperature
• Temporary ground cover for walkways or mulched areas
• Use under hoops, cloches or low tunnels for additional protection

How to use

Cut the agrotextile to the required length using scissors or a utility knife. Lay the fabric directly over seedlings, rows or beds, ensuring even coverage and contact along the soil surface. Secure edges with landscape staples, soil mounds, rocks or clips to prevent displacement by wind. For frost protection, allow the material to extend beyond plant rows to form a continuous insulating layer and remove or ventilate during warm daytime temperatures if necessary. For weed suppression, place the fabric on prepared soil and cut X-shaped slits to plant through if direct planting is required.

Usage recommendations

Store the roll in a dry, shaded place before use to preserve UV treatment. When used continuously outdoors, inspect periodically for wear and replace the fabric if tears or significant degradation appear. Combine with additional covers or supports for heavy snow or prolonged freezing conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to open flame or extreme heat sources.
