When to Use Black vs. White Covering Material: Helpful Information
Covering material is known to summer residents under different names - spunbond, agrotext, agrospan, agril...
However, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , despite the different names, the technology of their production is absolutely the same.
But agrofibre can differ in density and colour.
Today we will talk about the densest covering material, the density of which is 60 g/sq. m.
White covering material with such density is used to protect plantings from frost (–5…–6 degrees).
It is also designed to cover shrubs and trees in winter.
In turn, the purpose of black agrotextile with a density of 60 g/m2 is to use it as mulch.
By using it, you will not allow the root system of plants to overheat and will be able to retain moisture in the soil, preventing the growth of weeds.
And given that it is customary to add a UV stabilizer to dense brands, such a canvas will serve you for a long time.
