A 30x100 HIGH TUNNEL My MISTAKES 6 years of growing in a greenhouse why we now use containers & bag

This is a definition of a green house 👍

We're in virginia....this was very helpful!!!! Thank you! May Jesus bless your hard work and perseverance!!!

What stories you have!!! Thanks for sharing! ❤️ 🤓👍 ~Sharon

Thanks for all the tips. Great info to know as I'm just completing my High Tunnel in NE Oklahoma. I wish the sound was a bit better as it was a tad hard to understand everything said. Many blessings, Doc

Excellent

I just found your channel and your video is very informative. I am in the process of buying a high tunnel and starting my journey.

Thank you.

Arsenic in the chicken feed 🤯 all the more reason to buy organic fed chickens! I’m using Bruce’s trellis system on my pergola for my tomatoes, I was looking at the yellow on my leaves this morning thinking maybe it was iron deficiency but now I’m thinking I might need the shade cloth, it’s not bad and my beefsteaks are looking good, and I have to water with our county water as well, ugh, it’s a bit discouraging. I know our water is super chlorinated because I can smell it, I leave water in jugs and let that dissipate before I water, usually 24 hours. I love your high tunnel, I remember when you first got it and posted about it and look how little your grand baby was in the back of the gator!!

Curious, couldn't you rig up some dip irrigation from rain barrels (that you treat) on the up-hill side (or intermittently for different areas) to use gravity to water? Instead of individually watering. I know it would be quite the contraption & take a lot of thought to structure for high wind etc. but sure could save you time in the long run😅

Sulfur or gip will help big time with the salt

I’m debating between 6 mil plastic and 11 mil woven fabric for covering. Any thoughts? The plastic is 92% light penetration and the fabric is 87% light penetration. I’m also wondering what type of shade cloth to use in the summer. We’re in zone 8 and get brutal summer sun (lettuce and peas cannot survive full sun). We have high wind, too, and I’ve had the same concern as you about the cover being lifted off if the sides are open, but with the sides closed it’s going to get really hot in there in the summer - any thoughts on keeping heat down while protecting the structure from wind?

Maybe growing hemp in the soil would help pull the salt out of the soil. I’ve heard it works. Look it up.

Good video but next time turn of the fans or start early in the morning when you don't need the fans.

filter all water befor hitting the plants

I dont understand the concept. So you built a high tunnel then shade the plants from the heat? While I'll clearly don't know your situation it seems there is a tremendous amount of improvement to be made.

I don't know if you are trying to make money from your tunnels but running fans and buying bags and maybe potting soil has really increased you cost. If it is just for you, no problem.
