Abstract
An improved, reinforced edge section for use on seed bed cover fabrics. The improved edge section is formed of multiple layers of the fabric along the side of the fabric. A plurality of openings is included through the multiple layer. To strengthen the edge section and prevent tearing, flexible reinforcing bands are located on the edge section securing the layers together. At least one band lies between each of the openings and the inside border of the layers, and at least one band lies between each of the openings and the outside border of the layers.
