Segment 4 Joey and Holly answer gardeners questions

Q: What light transmission row cover should I buy for melon,squash, watermelon? I need one for spring when I transplant them out, and one for fall, Sept 14 is our 1st frost date. So they dont freeze. Can I get a cover that I can use in spring and fall? Or do they need to be 2 seperate kinds?
A: one kind for spring and fall here is a link that talks more about them https://extension.umd.edu/hgic/topics/floating-row-cover
Heavy-weight FRCs (1.5-2.2 oz./sq. yd.) are usually used to extend the growing season in spring and fall, allow 50%-70% light transmittance, and 4º-10ºF. of frost protection.
If the cold won’t drop below 26° F, take advantage of AG-30 row covers. At 0.9 oz. per square yard they give warmth to your plants and transmit 70% of the sunlight. The balancing act is more sunlight, slightly less warmth.
You can also find cover on amazon

Q:what is a scoby?
