Re:cuc. beetles row cover
I thought you could just put it on the plants, but have never used it
so I am not really sure. I would keep an eye out for beetles though.
They overwinter in the soil, so row cover won't do you any good if they
emerge from underneath. If they are from someone else's garden then it
will help.
