Re: Better covering than plastic?

Thanks so much for the tip. This looks like exactly what I had in mind, and not
 too
expensive. Yes, I knew Goretex would be waaaaay too expensive, but I was
 throwing out
ideas to stimulate thinking. I bet if Mel ever updated his book, he would add
 this
polyester material to his suggestions for plant protection cages. It looks
 great!

I looked at the web site cited, and saw different sizes, but not different
 weights. I
ordered the catalog. Hopefully the catalog will show even more choices. Plus
 there is a
$5.00 discount on first order from catalog for citing how you got to their web
 site.
Don't miss that opportunity, if you are interested. Of course, some companies
 make that
sort of offer in every catalog. I don't know anything about this specific
 company and
their policies.

Thanks again.
