Raised bed planter update!!

So, apparently, I (along with other gardeners) were lulled into false sense of security with the beautiful weather we had been having. It was supposed to or could have frosted the past two nights! I headed to Lowes and picked up some construction plastic. It was about $25 for the 6-mil (thickest). It's the 10 ft x 100 roll. I cut the plastic to fit around the hoops first and secured it with binder clips (so fancy) while I taped the bit of excess around the poles at both ends. Each end is its own piece. Though I secured with some tape, about 5 binder clips on each end (10 total) is enough to secure it! Success!


If you'd like the link to the original post I did to make the planter:
