Great idea!

Now, how do you handle/reroll the tape at year end for reuse another year?
That has always been my problem. I often end up with a semi-tangled mess.

I agree, only about $0.08/foot difference not counting shipping. Does anyone
have a way to handle these rolls of row covers other than just by hand?

I have figured out how to roll out drip tape by running a rod thru the spool
and then running the ends of the rod thru the holes in the arms of my 3
point hitch. I then just walk it down the row. I walk it vs. drive it down
for more control.
