Row Covering For Garden Pests

Garden Row Cover Jan 2012

My little seedlings are growing taller and stronger by the day. However, it's a big bad world out there for the little ones, cutworms, melon worms, all kinds of hungry mouths trying to devourer their delicate leaves and stems. It's my job to protect them, so I can devourer their fruit. :) Last year I had melon worms by the bus load and they are a nasty bunch. I squished more then my fair share of those green freeloaders. I want to protect this crop from harm, so I'm using the safest organic garden practice to avoid these garden scumbags. I bought Agribon+ AG-15 row cover from Johnny's Selected Seeds. I have my crops cover for now until they start to bloom, then I will uncover them during the day for the bees and cover them at night when the moths come out to play and lay their dirty eggs with their no good young'uns. However, this doesn't protect from everyone, more on that later....
