Topsfield, Ma.

Must be some tasty bugs hanging out in your patch ? I found 5'x25' foot row cover at local Agway for about $9.00. Local Co-op had it on a spool for whatever length you wanted also at 5' width. Check it out, if you can't find it, get in touch.

porterville, calif.

I know it attracts the cats. I have one back again this year. I tried feeding him. He hangs around the outside patio now and stays away from my patch

How about a bird netting cover like they use on berry plants.
