We've been growing in hoophouses for 7 years.
We've seen salt build up after 4. Took the plastic off the first
house that exhibited salt build-up and left it off for about 8
months. In addition to rain, we also ran overhead sprinklers.
Salt build-up exhibited itself again in about 4 months. We can
minimize the effect by incorporating a good quantity of compost.
I'm curious about your thoughts on how
the compost might have minimized the salt effect. O.M. maybe?
