Good advice.applestar wrote:I've done that with the ground stake tubing in the past. It works well unless structure is insufficiently tied down, then a big windstorm can pull them out when the wind takes hold of the cover (and of course you did your darndest to strongly secure the covers to the hoops).
I've been thinking about securing the Row Cover over the hoops. Most folks say to bury/cover the edges with dirt. But, I don't really like the idea of taking the time to do that. I have some old 2x4 lumber (NOT treated lumber) laying around, so I think I will just secure the edges of the row cover with that; and maybe plop a brick or two on the 2x4 if more weight is needed.
That should make it really quick for me to get the Row Cover on, off, and back on, whenever I need to.
