In some climates, like around Madison , Wisconsin, maintaining an organic garden is challenging. One solution is to purchase a row cover. A row cover is made of spun bonded polypropylene. The most popular version ‘floats’ on top of your crop.
Benefits to a row cover include: conserves moisture; protects from – heavy rains, drying winds, insects birds, rabbits, chipmunk’s and squirrels.
The product generally comes in two sizes: 5’ x 25’ and 5’ x 50’. You can purchase the 5’ x’ 50’ size for under $25.00 at most garden centers and cut it with scissors to meet your garden needs.
