Liz- I use the kind of Agribon row covers (called Agriforce) that have a
grid of polypropylene embedded to strengthen and prolong the life of the
material. I re-use the rowcovers several times during the course of a
season. They will not last more than about one growing season in the
sun, however. I wish I knew how to recycle the material. Peter
