sorry that link doesn't work, the title is: Extending Vegetable Harvest and Sales Using Tunnels, Row Covers and Winter Storage

I googled that and found the PDF. Looks like to get those results, they used 1.25 oz cover. Page 13.

Im guessing, they put the cover on top of the plants, then covered the hoops with plastic.
