Re: Remay

Hi Gloria,

Reemay is a brand name for spun polyester fabric, randomly overlaid polyester
fibres bound together in a thin sheet.  It is light and porous, letting both
water and air through but not insects, and it's most common use is as a floating
row cover over crops to provide protection from insects (and in my experience
even marauding deer!).  It is also useful for some protection from intense
sunlight and provides some  heat retention, although not much.  Most often
white, it comes in many grades  of heaviness for different applications and is
sold under several brand names.   Reemay is one of the best known brand names
and is virtually a synonym for spun polyester fabric.  BTW, a floating row
cover is simply one that requires no support - it is laid directly upon and held
up by the crop.
