How many here grow food gardens inside green house year round?

The clamps will cost you another $20, and you have to have some bricks to hold down the poly on windy days (concrete chunks will do as well). If treated well, the poly lasts three years and the clamps and hoops last forever. You are looking at $15 per winter harvest. Works if you don't live in a windy area. It's easier to hold down the poly than to keep it from tearing. Hoop tunnels 2' or 3' may work better in windy areas. 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. |
