To cover perennial flowers, many summer residents use a variety of materials.

It is believed that protecting perennial flowers from frost and sticky snow is perhaps the most difficult task for a gardener.

If you think you can do without polyethylene, you can use spruce branches, sawdust, dry leaves, burlap, spunbond, and so on.

Let's see what the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh thinks about the film.

Is it worth using film?

The answer to this question is simpler than you think – the film can be used, but in combination with other materials.

The fact is that polyethylene film does not belong to the category of breathable materials - the microclimate inside the shelter will become too humid, which will lead to the development of rot and fungus.

But polyethylene is great for protection against precipitation – you just need to periodically ventilate the shelter.
