Market Farming

["William H Shoemaker" <wshoemak AT illinois.edu>]

Here’s a product from Ken-Bar in Mass.; http://www.ken-bar.com/planters.html . I tried it out. It’s much better than kraft paper and crops responded pretty well to it. Its biggest liability is weight. Compared to plastic, it’s heavy, so shipping may be prohibitive. But the only other source I’m familiar with is Johnny’s, and they’re in the same neighborhood. I’d love to learn of a Midwestern source. WI?
