Summerweight Garden Fabric

I used this cloth to cover my strawberries & protect them from birds. However, I wish it were at least a foot wider, and it will tear easily. I find that Remay or frost cover cloth works almost as well, but the lightweight cloth does let more water through to the plants.

The bed cover is working well in two application. I have purchased a prize hydrangea that was being eating alive by insects boring into the leaves. I built a wood frame cage and stapled your ground cover to it. It keeps the flying insects out and has easily lived through torrential rains and wind gusts to 30 knts!! I used another section of the cover to protect my small veg gardens. It is also working well. I am enthused john s

I really liked the concept of this. I needed something to keep the beattles off my basil. We had a couple of bad storms and it really didn't hold up well. Suprised because most things from GS are awesome!

I used it to cover my blueberry bushes to keep birds and small animals from eating my berries. It worked great was the perfect size and let enough sunlight in. I would reccomend it and probably will buy again.A bigger (wider and longer size would be nice)

Used the netting to cover blackberry bushes. Last season, the beetles covered the bushes. This year we applied the garden netting and the berries are growing great. Our bushes are high so we stapled two sheets of netting together to completely cover the blackberry bushes.

I was behind getting my raised beds put together, filled and planted--and also on my ordering of the summerweight row cover. If I had ordered and applied it earlier, I know I would have had better initial results; as it was, I saw cabbage moths fluttering around before I got the row cover ordered, so they got a head start. Little caterpillars (cabbage loopers?) and some other little gooey green insect critter I have yet to identify (shaped sort of like a trapezoid?!) got in and had a good time munching on my cabbage and broccoli plants. Once I picked them off and rinsed off the eggs and, uh, other stuff a time or two, the cabbage heads started to form and there are far fewer of them since I did that and applied the cover. No fault of the cover that I didn't get it on early enough.

I know it does a great job keeping out moths and birds, but I'm not sure, even with staples, if it would keep out a really determined digger of any kind like a chipmunk or squirrel burying seeds, for example. I'll do better next year getting the row cover on earlier.

Oh, I need to mention, too, I put row cover on some Swiss chard, and some was planted at the same time in a different bed, but NOT under row cover. The covered chard is doing better than that which is uncovered. I think it likes not being scorched by the heat wave we've been having this year!

Perfect for my gardening needs!

Keeps the pests out and is lightweight enough that it still allows some sunlight in and is great to apply for overnight use in the early spring to late fall to keep in the heat.
