MemberOctober 20, 2022 at 12:15 pm in reply to: Growing Pumpkins/Winter Squash as a Survival Crop: Ideas for Large Scale GrowingThe wood chips is a great idea. I am toying with the idea of planting a large patch of pumpkins so will follow for ideas.

I need to take a look at what herbs I still have growing and see if I can pot some and move them into the tunnel. Thanks for the idea.
-
I’ve heard the radishes are great in cool weather.
-
Thanks! I will check it out.
-
I am hoping for good success. Was hoping for some who have tunnels to give some advice. I will be experimenting and see how successful I am. Hoping to be able to stay home full time soon and that will give me more time to “work” on it.

We are Zone 7. I am hoping to at least be able to grow some spinach, lettuce, radishes, broccoli and maybe a few other cool weather crops. Frost has already gotten most of my out door garden. I will definitely be experimenting!
-
Have you successfully grown in the winter? What zone are you in?
-
Can you explain the purpose of the orange fence? Is it critter prevention?
-
We don’t have a lot of snow here but I have read you can buy kits that have reinforcements to prevent damage due to snow load. We are looking at the package from Morgan County Seeds with the reinforced roof. We have some high wind on occasion and that is why we are considering that.

Danny, you are one of the channels I watch that started my interest in the high tunnels. I enjoy seeing what you and Wanda have growing in your tunnels. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and making all those videos!

We are in zone 7b. We have considered a 30 x 90 – just not sure I have time to take care of that much since I currently work full time-hoping to change that soon. Decisions, decisions – maybe I am overthinking it! Your setup looks very nice. What is the ground cover I see in the one on the right?

If I understand correctly, the kit was 1/2 the total cost? Wow! What were the other costs associated with them if you don’t mind my asking. It appears the sides on your roll down instead of up. I am thinking that is option I want as I have read you can let cool air in without it being right on the lower plants. Do you like that option?

Thanks, I’m leaning toward growing in pots so the soil can be changed/amended easier.
-
Do the sides roll up or down? The summer heat is one of my concerns.
-
Can you tell me which brand you purchased. We are looking at the Zimmerman one but open to other options.
