I did Agribon covers the last few years, with boards over the edges of the fabric for a complete seal. Zero plants lost to borers and almost no bacterial wilt! Least disease pressure I have ever experienced on cucurbits.

The hassle of constantly removing and replacing the row cover to get to ripe cukes, however, was a major annoyance and time waster. I'd like to build a PVC hoop house with a base frame and clip the row cover to it, which could be easily lifted off the plants.

Edit: H-19 Littleleaf is a fantastic cultivar, parthenocarpic so perfect for growing without pollinator access. It's also the hardiest cucumber I have grown in my hot, humid weather.
