Hi Kara,
I went to Joann's with my monthly coupon and bought their nylon netting. It was
very inexpensive. I draped it over my rows and it kept out the critters til the
plants were sturdy and starting to bloom. THen I took it off, shook it out,
wrapped it up and put it away. Right now the critters are back, just nibbling a
bit off the side of each tomato So I'm going to pull it out again and swath
around the base of the row of plants and see if that will deter them.
It's good to have options,
mum
