Reemay works well for flea beatle protection. I use it every year. It also moderates the climate, warmer at night, a little shading when the plants are just put out, conserves moisture and provides wind protection. It works great--at least in my Central California climate. I used to use organic pesticides but don't need to anymore. Once the plants are big enough the reemay comes off and the plants are tough enough to handle a little chewing.
