First time poster here. I've started some pumpkins and winter squash for a fall harvest in zone 8a. I'm ready to fight the good fight against squash vine borer because I lost my half dozen yellow squash to them earlier this year. I want to use floating row covers as part of my pest management strategy, but the "summer" row covers I'm finding for sale
online won't get here for over a month.
So here's the question: are there home made options for floating row covers?
The material has to be very breathable and light because our temps are in the low 100s F right now. I'm considering using old cotton bed sheets, but wanted to see if someone else had used them or had another suggestion.
