Re: Wind breaks
Ken,
I don't personnaly don't have wind breaks because of the placement of my
patch (natural and building wind breaks), but I have seen a couple of very
cool ideas. One was a double row of corn surrounding the entire patch and
the other was a row of sunflowers. Both seemed to work well and both made
the patch look real nice.
