Hello everyone,
As we are discussing hoophouse, I thought I might share two good
resources on the topic of building low-cost DYI tunnels that I found.
First, Dan Brisebois from Ferme Coopérative Tourne-Sol here in Québec
has many article on the topic of low-cost tunnel on his blog. The main
one is:
http://goingtoseed.wordpress.com/2010/08/31/tunnels/
Second, the Kerr Center in OK has a very good and very detailed PDF that
explains how to use galvanized square tubing for low tunnel hoops. It
seems very sturdy indeed. You can read more at:
http://www.kerrcenter.com/publications/hoophouse/index.htm
I've got no experience doing a DYI hoophouse myself, so I cannot comment
on how well the above concepts works, but I thought it might be of
interest to some. I'm really starting to consider building one for my
seedling next spring.
