Growing Together: Using Row Cover in Your Home Garden

Tips to Grow a Healthy Garden

This week our partner, Marshview Farm, shares some tips on how row cover can be a great tool for the home gardener.

”Row cover can help you protect your crops from frosty temperatures, pesky insects, and even mammals who want to eat your veggies,” Farmer Jamie told us. “Row cover in the spring also helps your crops grow to their fullest potential. It is very cost effective and sun and water permeable. Just yesterday we covered an acre of crops with row cover. Depending on the thickness of the cover, you can protect/heat your crops up to 8 degrees.”
