The lifespan of the row cover is usually 2 seasons. When the fabric becomes a bit too ratty, use it to help germinate seeds. Placed over bare soil, row cover fabric acts as a mulch, keeping the soil moist and raising the soil temperature slightly. Seeds germinate very well in these conditions.

Terra Viva Organics - mini greenhouse kits $12-$25, and a winter greens kit for about $9

Gardener's Supply Co. - floating row covers, plastics

Johnny's Selected Seeds - row covers, plastic mulch
