It is required to you
- - agrotex/agrospan;
- - spunbond / lutrasil;

Instruction
1. Agrotex and agrospan are the most preferable industrial ukryvny materials which suit for the shelter for all trees and bushes. Advantage of these materials is that they perfectly protect cultures from sunshine, at the same time do not detain moisture. Therefore if in your region in the winter often there is thaw, then for the shelter of thuja it is better to choose either agrotex, or agrospan.
2. Spunbond / lutrasil is quite popular ukryvny material among gardeners too though it also has some shortcomings. The fact is that material perfectly protects plants from solar burns, however it badly passes moisture. That is temperature drops in winter time affect cultures covered with spunbond / lutrasilom not in the best way. The only rescue in this case - in the period of thaw to remove material that on it the ice crust was not formed.
3. The kraft paper - material which is suitable for the shelter of trees is more senior. It perfectly protects plants from wind, cold, snow, sunshine. Minus paper - it practically does not pass light that negatively affects plants, especially weak young people.
4. Gauze - magnificent ukryvny material for plants, however his gardeners use not often as today there is cheaper help. But It should be noted that the gauze is the most optimal variant from all here listed, therefore if health of your plants in garden is expensive to you, then give preference to it.
5. As for make-shifts, for the shelter of thuja it is possible to use fir twigs. Most convenient to cover with pine or fir-tree branches low trees, however if gets the hang, then and two-meter cultures can quite be ""hidden"" from winter nenastiya fir twigs, using rope for its fastening.
