I need some advice on row covers

Where is the best place to buy (where)

What do the ratings mean Ag 19 Ag 70 not sure what they mean.

What have you guys used in the past. I saw johnny seeds had it, along with www.groworganic.com

Sorry about dredging up an old post but I was looking up row covers on the site. the rating relate to the weight of the material and how much light passes through it. AG19 blocks 19% of light and is a lightweight fabric. AG 70 is an overwintering fabric and is extra hevy weight. it blocks 70% of available light. Two layers of AG19 has worked great for me this year. AG 19 is very delecate and is really a 1 year deal. AG 30 is a medium weight fabric and is durable enough for a couple seasons.
