Hey all,

First off, thanks to all the members who post so much great info on this forum. It's been very educational and inspirational. I've been lurking around for almost a year now but this is my first post. I'm in my first year of production on a small (~1.2 acres) plot of land.

This weekend (hopefully) I'll be sowing beds of Asian greens for a summer salad mix. I have quite the problem with flea beetles so I am going to use an insect barrier for protection. My question is how do you guys support your row covers for salad mix greens? I use concrete reinforcement wire bent into a U shape for early larger crops. But, since the greens will only be several inches off the ground I'd like to save material and not make hoops that go 2 1/2 or so feet off the ground. Does anybody know of a good way to make a low support system? I get a good amount of wind here do I'm worried the greens would get too damaged with just a floating row cover. Thanks for any advice you guys have.

Chris
