anybody ever tried it? I have, when we lived in Europe. the conditions underneath it where just perfect for slugs and they ate everything down to the nub before I noticed it. (you never saw so many slugs and of such size) However an old codger I knew had lettuce and radishes really early. the slugs even ate the beans. (where I lived was rather cold, folks started green beans in pots inside.) I ordered some and aim to give it a try. as far as I see here the land is not inundated with slugs. I am wondering what other critters will feel just comfy and protected underneath.

I use it to build pollen-isolation cages,as insects aren't really a problem here.-
