Preparing the new improved hoophouse for next spring. The solid 4x4 ridge will double as support for a large tarp to be drapped over top plant if we receive hail again like we did 4x this year. i will also run drip type hose with mister heads along the ridge to help cool down the plants on those abnormally hot spring days.This design will allow for a larger protected plant as well as help enclose my 4ft by 4ft buried soil warming cables area to keep the young plants at a toasty early spring 70 degrees!!!
It's gonna be a another long winter in anticipation of Spring. I am so ready for 2009 to begin already:)
