Rod, why are you wanting to use row cover? I used it in my second planting of sunflowers, beans and corn last year, cause the dam#@#@ birds ate every one of those seeds out of the ground before they sprouted!!! Second planting came up fine, and row cover was removed after plants were 2-3" tall! No prblms after that. Peace, Wayne
PS...I removed mine,rolled it up and will reuse it this spring for first planting!!!

you want to get remay poly they come in different light transparencies like 75% or 50% light trancsparency. 50% will cut out 50% of daylight. i am not familliar with wally worlds you can get good quality ones from nurseries or a growers supply that will last for years if you take care of them, like pw, roll it up and put it up when done.

I participated in our local farmers market last year and did very good.I want to stay ahead of the non-benefical insects without having to "nuke em".I planted a small flower bed and attracted many beneficals.I am a newby to growing AG's(4th season).But thanks to many of you guys in the group I have learned many good things and also have gained some good genetics.It may sound strange but I feel more connected to our planet,our enviroment.I guess I better go.Tia
