Row Cover - 7' x 20'

We couldn't farm without row covers. This fabric can protect your plants from wind, frost, and insects, but light and rain can get through. Trapping ground heat, this "1/2 oz" fabric can protect your plants from light frost, usually 3 - 4 degrees of protection. When the temps drop, you can add a second layer of row cover to add more protection. To use, you can "float" the cover over your plants and secure the edges, or you can use wire or other supports to suspend the cover just above your plants and secure the edges. We use sand bags to weigh down edges, but you can also use soil, bricks, rocks, or other weights (but best to use weights that are not abrasive!). These covers CAN last for several seasons, if you take care to secure them from wind and handle with care. Ask one of the farmers for more tips on using row covers or simply google "using row cover in the vegetable garden, extension" to find several good articles from Extension offices like this one: https://extension.unh.edu/blog/using-row-covers-garden
