Washing Up
Hi BC -
On the covering of the new plants, couldn't you put a stick/short pole on each corner of the bale(s), and just throw some burlap over them? I did not read of a late frost issue, so I am wondering if the fact they are up and off the ground makes a difference.
No, burlap wouldn't work. I use floating row covers specifically designed for specific uses. Very lightweight ones are simply for pest protection, & also provide a bit of heat protection for cool-weather crops as summer begins. I also use some heavier-weight floating row covers at the end of the season for a little bit of frost protection, but unlike burlap, commercial floating row covers let in optimum amounts of sunlight, water, & air.
