Getting the ground cover to stay put during spring winds is a trick,
that sometimes doesn't work. We have started waiting until June
before putting the ground cover down because it seems to stay better
then. We got the 8" staples from Nolts which work fairly well.
Also use fence posts laid down, heavy pipe, rock bags, whatever we
have. The staples are great where you walk alot since they are out
of the way. THe shipping on them is a lot. And hired help taking up
the ground cloth in the fall seem to be oblivious to the staples,
leaving them for me to find the next year or during fall cover crop
prep. I like to have the ground cloth come up a couple inches onto the plastic, and staple it through the plastic. Our beds aren't always that even though. No, the plastic hasn't torn from the staples. On 4/6/2016 10:55 PM, S Sohn wrote:
