Agrofilm has many advantages, for which it is valued by gardeners who grow strawberries in their garden plots.

1. Agrofilm does not interfere with the flow of air, water and light – in general, everything that strawberries need.

Since weeds have no chance to germinate, you automatically eliminate the need for weeding.

4. The material creates unfavorable conditions that do not allow fungus to develop, and also prevents the area from being filled with slugs, which can harm not only strawberries, but also other crops.

5. The use of agrofilm prevents drying out and weathering.

6. Finally, the material is designed for repeated use – agrofilm can be used on beds about 3-4 times.
