I Tried Glass, Perspex & Polythene — Here's What Actually Works

One cold night is all it takes to lose a full year's growing — or wipe out a tray of unprotected seedlings. In this video I'm sharing the best plant protection method I've found after trying it all: taped glass panes, corrugated Perspex with metal frames, and fleece held up with thin wire. As we head into October, it's the perfect time to think about extending your growing season and protecting what's already in the ground — as well as anything you're still planting out. Whether you're growing on an allotment, in a poly-tunnel, or in a small garden, this simple method will help keep your plants safe from frost, wind, and falling temperatures right through autumn and winter. 🌱 What you'll learn in this video: ✔️ How to protect plants and seedlings from frost and cold snaps ✔️ The pros and cons of polythene, mesh, and netting covers ✔️ My favourite low-cost plant protection method for the allotment ✔️ Tips for extending your growing season into autumn/winter Join me at Kev's Seaside Garden and Allotment for real, honest allotment growing by the coast — seasonal tips, hands-on projects, and lessons learned from years on the plot. 👍 If this helped, give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more allotment and gardening videos. #AllotmentGardening #PlantProtection #FrostProtection #GrowYourOwn #GardeningUK #SeasideGarden #AutumnGardening #Polytunnel Instagram at; Kevin.brookes.374 Facebook; https//Facebook.com/kevin.brookes.374    / @kevsseasidegardenandallotment   Music: Volcan Peaks / Dreamers of the shore / Trevor Kowals / Firefly Trail / courtesy of Epidemic Sound - https://www.epidemicsound.com Camera Footage 1 - Apple iPhone 16+ Camera Footage 2 - GoPro Sports Camera Drone footage via a - DJI Neo - Video Editing Software - Movavi 26 - https://www.movavi.com
