If you want to use PVC. I have heard of people using PVC to make hoop houses. You could make a PVC hoop house with a shade cloth or fabric roof.

> Guy, Market Farm has a nice little unit for washing and drying produce. We have had one for years now and love it.  Go to marketfarm.com and have a look. It will pay for its self pretty quick. I have found it will wash everything but Serrano and cayenne pepper. TexasBill
