RE: How To Get A High Tunnel For Free In The USA | Grow Food!
I crave the day when I come and visit you and your high tunnel, and meet your resident plants. These images resemble the "cold frames" I'm familiar with, and they might be identical to yours, but with a different name. I had the good fortune of co-managing an organic produce farm in Montana, where we put up two of these. So much to say and share about that experience, but just quickly: they work nicely in the summer months too–we opened the sides for ventilation with a long steel rod that could wind up the walls. Somewhere I have some notes that might be useful to you. I was a thorough record-keeper, as was required for our organic certification. Love this. Love you.
Yes <3 if you're ever coming through our neck of the woods let us know!
We are a little concerned about the heat in our hot hot summers. Our friends have the wind up the walls-thing going on and that seems to help some. We may get a shade cloth. Would love to hear any useful notes you would love to send our way, and also any feedback from your organic cert. We got that grant, too, and would love to hear how it went for you. Sometimes I'm not sure it's worth it. Thanks for this ~~~ Much love
