You build a frame with a door tall enough to take full size kale and cover it in shade cloth. Watch for pretty little white butterflies with a bit of purple on them. You have to stop them from landing on your kale. They lay eggs and those big green worms are what you are left with. Google kale house for pics. We have to build a new one this year. Maybe I'll do a post on it later.
ok got ya. I have used PVC to build a frame and put the row cover fabric over to stop the moths from laying eggs. In the middle of the summer it gets very hot in there in my location though and sometimes the rain ponds on top instead of seeping through like it's supposed to do.
What is a kale house?

We bought new shade cloth material this year. Last year I used white row cover material and it did the same thing. It also kept ripping in the wind.
