Re: Nylon netting

Chris,
I was looking in "Clints Crazy Bargains" today and noticed that you can get
a roll of "tree wrap" or something like that for a couple of dollars. It is
manufactured in Waco Texas and designed for keeping borers and the like out
of trees. It is similar to nylons and streaches as the tree gorws. If you
need further details let me know.
