I cut more garden fabric and fitted my backyard bean plot south (22 x 11 feet) with the material today. The fabric is custom fit for these rows and I can store the material and use it again next season. Fabric is pinned down with tent steaks about 99 cents each. 2 tent steaks at each end of the row. Another thing that I can use over and over for years to come. Bricks at 49 cents each placed in the middle of the row. Plants will have less soil splashed on them durng rain events and that will keep them healthier. Past years I've used grass clippings and that has made the plants healthier, but even then after a good rain the plants lay against the wet grass clippings and during the time when pods are drying this spoils some of the seed. I think this will even cut down on the amount of spoiled seed.
