All of you that use mill fabric should actually use 2 layers. When you place the second one on top of the first it becomes very slippery for lack of a better word. You can move 600 lb pumpkins easily to help with vine stress and moving period. To test this theory! place 2 on the ground stand on the 2 and see how slippery they are

What does the current mill fabric being used look like? I have some 10 year old tan, very thin pieces, that I thought was mill fabric. New pics I am looking at seem to a thicker reddish looking perforated type of stuff. Any advice will be appreciated! Peace, Wayne
