Floating Row Covers

Pipes around the perimiter keep the edges down, then
I use stakes on the ends.
I'd like to get some old fire hose and fill it with
sand as a perimiter weight.
Laid down my floating row covers that I purchased.  I'm hoping these will reduce the chomping that's happening at night, although the problem is that a few of the pests I have actually live in the soil.  I plan to use this more on new beds when I direct sow.  The idea is that it's so light weight the plants will lift it up as they grow, or it will "float" on top of them as they grow.

You can just barely make out the beet
seedlings under the cover
