“Floating row cover is white, spun-poly cloth that looks like giant sheets of toilet paper… Row cover is great for excluding pests like flea beetles, carrot rust fly and cabbage moth, as well as for reducing transplant shock and preventing dmage from light frosts. It makes crops grow faster in the spring because it has an insulating effect.” Excerpted from: All the Dirt by Rachel Fisher, Heather Stretch, Robin Tunnicliffe
