Thanks, most of it's already in my garden now!

Also found last week -- neighbor tossed some white rigid plastic grid stuff. I think it was once a covering for a large fluorescent light (?). It was broken up into pieces and that gave me the idea that I could cut it into strips (a scissor snaps through that stuff easily. I have laid the strips down across my line of cement blocks, to cover seedlings. It's working great so far in the garden. My intent was to dissuade birds from pecking the seeds out of the dirt, but also, some raccoons ate seedlings out of holes I didn't have covered, but they left the covered ones alone. The plastic grid does slide around a bit, so I added wooden skewers to anchor the grid down onto the holes.
