Here is why....

When we started our new organic vegetable garden in 2004, we needed to protect the vegetable seedlings from various insect pests. We found an insect netting fabric, that promised to do the trick.

Well it really worked. The GrowCover garden fabric kept out most of the insect pests. Our veggies thrived because, to our surprise, the the GrowCover also gave the plants a great growing environment as well.
