At a farm where I worked up here in NY, we removed the plastic every summer because of high temps. We probably could have gotten away with some large fans and the sides rolled up but that wouldn't work for you.
What about shade cloth?

We're planning to put up a high tunnel this year for all these reasons too. But my question, which I haven't been able to answer yet, is when it is 100+ degrees again here in Texas (zone 7b), is that high tunnel really going to do us any good? Or will we have pre-cooked vegetables? I'm thinking we'll have to remove the plastic every summer because I don't know that venting will be sufficient. Any wisdom out there about handling high summer temperatures? If we'd had a tunnel or two up in the last year, I'm sure we would have had some production in spite of the massive rains, so the tunnel makes sense. Just not sure about summer, removing plastic, storing plastic...etc. Kim in Texas where it is raining, again, and no one has been able to put in potatoes or onions _______________________________________________ Market-farming mailing list Market-farming AT lists.ibiblio.org http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/market-farming
