Yes, it's fragile, as the many tears can attest to. I may bite the bullet next year and purchase the 19.

I keep Agribon 19 on my beds throughout the whole season here in Montana and it works great for me! Reduces leaf miner, better moisture retention and faster growth here. The plants don't get too hot and in fact seem to grow much faster. I used to use 6mil plastic at night but would have to be sure so remove it right away in the morning and the Agribon fabric is so much better, I only remove it to weed, harvest and water. Ugly yes, but works so well.elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615887438960518295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-4008648489528572862011-04-26T12:36:11.234-04:002011-04-26T12:36:11.234-04:00Based on your blog, I've thrown a row cover ov...Based on your blog, I've thrown a row cover over my spinach as well, though not nearly as pretty as yours. I've been trying to find a way to work a post on that into my blog schedule, so much is going on, but I will, if only to show off your lovely cover. <br /><br />I don't have a clue what material you used, but I used whatever came with my couches to cover them in shipping. They're very fragile. One of the three I saved already has a tear. Never thought of repairing it. <br /><br />Just yesterday I was out and rigged up a way to keep the cover off the plants. Later I thought of using my hoop covers, but I doubt it's big enough.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Sinfonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973076975622726383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-62106316581485474822011-04-26T10:29:34.508-04:002011-04-26T10:29:34.508-04:00I never really thought to sew on patches for rips,...I never really thought to sew on patches for rips, that's a great idea for extending the life of the row cover! I know you use pvc pipes to hold up the cover but how to you anchor the pipes to the ground. Last year I let the row cover drape over the plants but this year I would like to get a tunnel system going.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668241377667731288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-27196544792109381012011-04-26T10:19:10.202-04:002011-04-26T10:19:10.202-04:00Beautiful rose plant!Beautiful rose plant!RandomGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634760100341475864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-49107254534407132432011-04-26T09:45:30.185-04:002011-04-26T09:45:30.185-04:00I don't know why I have haven't been makin...I don't know why I have haven't been making much use of my fabric row cover lately, which is is a shame because I'm sure my greens would grow faster if I did. I think it's out of sure laziness. <br /><br />I love climbing roses and am hoping to plant a few this year.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-32871257357996113702011-04-26T09:09:42.319-04:002011-04-26T09:09:42.319-04:00I need to turn my piles of compost this weekend. ...I need to turn my piles of compost this weekend. I have been kind of ignoring them recently. The smell of a pile that has gone rank is a bit overpowering but luckily some air and more browns added should make things right again. <br /><br />That rose plant looks like a really healthy start.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.com
