If I'm going for winter growing (not yet as it is too warm here for that now) I'll put on plastic over the hoops and then Agribon put over the crops inside the hoop. So two layers. I don't know whether I'll take the effort to keep things growing under plastic this year or not. I have the last couple of years, but I could just freeze the Asian greens and use them that way. <br />Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-39287590580119814002012-10-27T11:55:37.517-04:002012-10-27T11:55:37.517-04:00Thank you Daph Im going out in the garden today to...Thank you Daph Im going out in the garden today to work on this! What is the white material you are covering them with - Plastic? Some sort of weed block fabric? Does it allow water to come thru it?Jezibelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008380452650873494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-49244132309619796052012-10-26T16:10:03.862-04:002012-10-26T16:10:03.862-04:00They are 1/2" white pvc pipe that is sold in ...They are 1/2" white pvc pipe that is sold in 10' straight lengths. I think the 1/2" is the internal diameter. I tried some pvc that was sold in rolls, but it doesn't hold up well in the wind. This is really strong. I pound 2' rebar into the ground and the pipe just barely slides over it. I also have some lower hoops that are made from 9 gauge wire stuck into the ground directly. They aren't as sturdy, but fine for things that grow low to the ground.

Id like to grow more lettuce and protect the beets with row covers, Im trying to find how you made yours (PVC? 1"?) on your blog but I cant do a search on "row covers". Can you please advise me?

It will be perfect weather for final garden cleanup, and maybe, just maybe I can talk son John into hauling a load of compost for me! I hope the latest foul weather traveling up toward the coast misses you.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.com
