Quick hoop bounce back
The
quick
hoops are showing very little damage from the snow load earlier in
the week.
It will be interesting to see
how many seasons we can stretch this Agribon material under these
conditions.

I used to cover lettuce beds with tobacco fabric before all this row cover fabric became available (and tobacco fabric stopped being available), but I'm not 100% sure I remember the difference. I vaguely think the tobacco fabric was a bit lighter.
Of course 3 to 4 seasons of 45 days apiece will be used up in one winter of covering both fall and spring crops. But I'm pretty sure the fabric's going to last another year, with a few minor mends.
Do you buy you row cover cloth on the internet or do you source it locally?
