Two or three yars ago there was a session on high tunnel growing at the MOSES
Organic Conference. The presenter was a market gardener from the Stevens
Point, WI (central Wis) area, and he was growing strawberries and raspberries
in high tunnels, along with other crops, with good results.

Subject: [NAFEX] high tunnels and fruit production
Hey, I've been reading a bit about strawberries under high tunnels
(planted in soil) and wondering if anyone here has done this. From what
I understand when the berries and high tunnel is coupled with drip
lines there is control over spring hazards such as drought, blossom
frost damage and insect damage. Once blooms are present and day temps
are above freezing that the sides are put up for pollination and
circulation.
I have a patch about 13 x 20 I'm thinking of doing this with and would
love to talk with others experimenting like this. I have bees and
thought about sticking a nuc (starter hive) in to help with
pollination. Also, this technique is being tested on extending
raspberry production in the fall. What other possibilities are there
with fruit?
Rondi
