Jesse and I took on the challenge of making a hoop house for our community garden plot. This year it will be more of trial situation to see if what we did will work. It took planning, shopping and a few times at the garden to complete. The biggest area of contention was on the plastic. I found numerous of articles stating regular painting plastic. Our friends at the garden said it had to be (super expense) greenhouse plastic to let in the correct UV rays. We shall see if it works!
Our project uses about half of a 10' x 25' roll of 3mil. plastic, 8- 10', 1/2" dia. PVC pipes, 10 circle screws, twine and plastic holders.
Here are the results:
Currently, we have planted our strawberry plant, carrots, onions and (donated to us) catnip.
Bonus- time lapse of our garden this year, 2011
Must take way more pictures next year, I do not even have pictures of our tall beautiful sunflowers that were there. Will do better in 2012!
