As we laid the ground cloth, we realized some calculation errors. We ended up making our rows wider than originally planned, and the cloth doesn’t cover quite as we planned. But most of the rows will not have the cloth once we plant since we are planting intensively and plan to mulch with straw.

The wind has also been a challenge, ripping the fabric pins out of the soil and even the rocks haven’t always stayed in place. Most of the fabric has stayed in place, and a few rows have had a mind of their own. So far we haven’t lost any fabric, and haven’t spent too much time putting it back in place.
