I also welcome every bit of moisture, but snow? Me too, so over it.

hail net, the only way to garden here in Colorado!

Wendy where do you get hail net, is it called something else? Like shade cloth or bird netting?

I posted about this last summer
Hail netting, is made for hail. It will hold snow.
We got about 4 inches of snow on May 1st and
it was wet and heavy and it held it.
It feels like fishing line woven into a weave.

The company I get it from is called American Clayworks
they are located in Denver. They sell it on a roll that is 29 feet
6 inches wide. I think it is about 3 dollars a foot.
Here is the website and phone number.
303-534-4044
www.americanclayworks.net

here are some pictures of this years garden. We put the hail
netting up before we plant and take down around September.
Hope this helps! Wendy
nope that is not DIA airport out there, it is the hail net suspended
on two poles in the middle of the garden. And I did wrap it around the
tree too.

Love the airport comment. My smart alec buddy was over and asked me if I was landing planes at DIA when he saw the 4 story tower in the house. Carry on, P

I was out planting in our vegetable garden and got snowed on.

Going to check out the hail net - looks like it would keep birds away from my tomatoes & strawberries along with the hail protection.
