I got some remesh from Home depot (4X7') in the cement department. Bend it into a tent shape and drape plastic drop cloth on top. 9' X 12'. $10 for the whole set up. Toss out the plastic when I'm done, and use the thin floating row cover in the summer.
No bugs & the lettuce loves it.
I haev chards, lettuces and kales inside.
This year I'm building 8' X 3' vegetable boxes that are 2.5 feet tall so I don't have to bend as far down. Old bones creek when I bend.
Building it out of Cedar.
I think I'll build 4 of those and 4 of the 4'x4' ones for corn & tomatoes & zukes.
I plan to cover them all. Protection from deers, bunnies & bugs.
While I'm at it, I'll make a 4 X 4 X 3 koi pool. For poopy fish water to water my plants...3' will keep the ducks out of the yummy koi.
Heck, they can't even climb over the lip of the 4" tub to get in for a swim. Needed a ramp.
Tehy can't fly & can't jump. They just walk.
Spoiled brats.
Your raised beds make me envious. I would love to have raised beds, but I am not sure I will get them this year. I am hoping that my FiL will come and use his rototiller in the back yard, but I don't think it will happen. I could just use the old half rotten deck boards. The boards would make me beds that would be 20' long, by however wide that I want them. I have more than enough top soil to fill them with. We have been trying to raise the level over the back yard so that the high tide thing doesn't happen. There are places in the yard that need at least 4 to 6 inches of fill. I have a feeling that I won't have the project done before the potluck. I will also need to figure out a way to fence to garden beds, so that the dogs don't play in them.
I will have to go look at the remesh. I need to go to Home Depot anyway.
It should be next to the rebars.
