    I bought some fleece from my veg box scheme and am not sure how long to use it for. Do you lay it over seeds and remove when they are sprouting, or can it stay for longer? Cheers!

    Leave it as long as you like Liz. The plants will push it up (providing you not got it pegged down tight) and as well as keeping the plants warm it keeps the bugs off.
