Correction to post 45; intended to say $11, not $1 for the mosquito netting. (About $12 actually.)

See Pollards subsequent post for a number of Reemay and Agribon fabrics. Some sources are also listed in the Gardening info in his Prepper links. Pollard's prepper links

These are great products for protecting young plants from insects or cold or hail! Larger sizes are available for small vegtable or truck gardens. I used some of these in making the row covers shown at:

The idea for the Mosquito netting was from someone else (I do not recall who....) What I found attractive was being able to put it up without a lot of fabrication or alteration, just pound in posts at the corners and tie up the netting. It should be able to accommodate 4 or 5 fully grown brussel sprout plants, which would equal pretty much my annual eating tolerance for this particular crucifer!
