No, just weights.  Row cover holds pretty well.  Plastic blew off until we buried the sides.  I suspect if row cover had ropes over it, it would tear where the ropes are.

Do you guys normally use a roping system to hold these row covers in place? Does that pretty much guarantee the covers will stay?

A granite framed glass conservatory usually stays put but no

guarentee!  Anything else is a matter of the time and equipment

you can bear to have out there blowing around; wether it is a row

cover, hoop house, cold frame, or greenhouse there will eventually

be something up the sleeve of Mother Nature to make the farming

experience more precious.

 

I was impressed that the guys with an acre of Haygrove were

resigned to chasing the covers and putting them on a couple times a year.
