The following is from Don Stevens of Charlottetown: "We ... appreciated your comments on problems with beans. We have had many problems this year with wax beans but not with green beans. You mentioned that one was covered with something called floating row cover. We have never heard of floating row cover and wonder what exactly you mean by that."
Thanks for your note. Floating row cover is an amazing product with a host of uses in the garden. It’s roughly the weight of a ply or two of facial tissue but very tough. You’ll know why it’s called "floating" if you try to place it in your garden on a breezy day.
I purchased mine at Veseys where they have it in two weights and several lengths and widths. If you have a small garden, you may want to buy one of the longer pieces and cut it up accordingly to suit your garden.
