I live in a fairly windy area. It took me a couple winters to get the
tunnels down pat. You need clamps, double clamps at the end of the
tunnels, and a smooth tunnel with some poly laying on the path, wieghed
down by bricks, so that no air can get inside. I never had a blowout
when there is deep snow, it seals the tunnels perfectly.


Do you grow under them in the winter? If so, what can you grow? I've
done garlic uncovered but that's about it. I have two poly tunnels now
(and keep the plastic down with netting ...removing the plastic at the
height of summer and the net remains to keep out the hares). Would
onions survive the winter. As it stands, I can't get onions much bigger
than a golf ball. I wonder if planting in the fall would help that.
