I have used rebar for years. The only issues I have had with the rebar are in early spring and late fall it can get frozen onto the row cover making it impossible to remove without tearing the row cover on a cold day and if you aren't careful when you install it and remove it the ends can poke a hole in your cover. Other than this, it does a real good job.

I have yet another question. This year I am covering my kale with row cover because the local ground squirrels love it. I am going to use #9 wire for hoops as the kale doesn't seem to like to rub up against the row cover.How have people found is the best way to hold down row cover? In the past I have put dirt on it but then it is always a pain to remove it when things need to be checked on. I heard something about laying rebar on the edges.Any suggestions would be greatThanks again,AndreaQuarter Acre FarmSonoma, CA
