The field is officially winter ready! Everything is covered and ready for a rest this winter before spring.
Here are some must haves for successful low tunnels:
-use rebar to put your hoops on, NOT fiberglass rods. Rebar is way stronger.
-use paracord (or polycord) to fasten your plastic on. Any other type of string or twine will fray, break, and be such a nightmare to deal with!
-when fastening the paracord to the rebar use bank line (nylon string coated in tar).
-use STRONG t-posts. Don't cheap out on getting the small thin cheap ones. Get atleast 6' pieces that are thick!
My biggest mistake last year was getting whatever supplies were the cheapest! Every string broke, fiberglass rod snapped, and as a result my crops suffered. Getting good materials from the start will make winter growing a lot less stressful!
