Defined by Michael Bentine in the 1960s as a crop that is grown and, while young, is covered with a special cover to protect it from the harmful ultra-violet rays of the sun. It is harvested, threshed, thrubbed and washed and then carefully woven into a cover like material that is used to protect the young dingle weed from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun.
