beets were under-performing. A little reading revealed that the cause was most likely root
maggots. The suggested solution was to cover the crop with fabric row cover. I came up
with the following solution:
First, I built 1' x 4' frames out of strapping with chicken wire domes covered with fabric
row cover. I planted beet seeds in two rows 8" apart. I then planted a row of radishes between
the two rows of beets. Here is what that all looked like.
