Love the Storey Country Wisdom Bulletins. These are great because they are inexpensive and they offer basic useable information that most people can use. This bulletin on row covers and mulches is a time saver in so many ways. First the various methods of extending the garden season is something those who live in short growing season areas or where fall can bring a surprise cold snap will appreciate. And so many inexpensive ways to keep the cold at bay from seedling and plants. How many people ever thought to lay a piece of lattice on cement blocks as a shade cover for things like lettuce?

Then there are the easy to make, inexpensive row covers that are like mini green houses. And the floating mess covers that keep harmful pests out of tomatoes, cabbage etc crops, since they cannot get thru the mesh. So many people complain of various beetles and moths that wreak havoc on crops they have spent so much time planting and tending.

Have never used the black plastic as mulch where you cut and plant seedlings, but plan on it since it sure seems to save on weeding as well as watering.
