How long should Enviromesh last?

Hi

I brought some from Amazon last year. I've had a sheet covering my Swede for a couple of months but it's started to rip in today's strong wind. Is it normal for it not to last a growing season?

Thanks

I have some 4 years old or more and I've never known it rip unless I've put it over something sharp.

Sorry I've just realised it says it's a fleece on the packet. I thought enviromesh and fleece were the same thing.

Enviromesh and its many rivals is said to last for up to 10 years - can't remember whether it's been on the market long enough to really test that though...........

One thing it definitely won't survive is burning cardboard too near it on a breezy day (my rows of carrots are of necessity much shorter than they were 2 years ago!      )

With much stitching or bodging together, yes!

I must have had some of mine nearly ten years its virtually indestructible,i just fold it up and put it back in the shed when im finished with it for the year.Its great stuff a must for carrot growing.
