That's a big tunnel, very nice! I put in 1/4" soaker line which worked great in the beginning. I just got time to mulch the beds, and am thinking the sun damaged the soaker line too much. Some of them weren't really putting out water at all, I've been hand watering also since I didn't have time...

I'll get a pic of the fastener. I didn't put along the top of the 6x6 just because it seemed harder to stretch it tight that way. With plastic this thick it is hard to zip the fastener together. With thin plastic it would be much easier. I will probably unzip the sides and have the plastic...

I just put a white shade cloth over the house as it was just getting too hot. Right now I'm just opening both doors in the daytime as I don't have vents on yet. The shade cloth is really helping with the heat. I have bush beans, tomatoes, onions, kale, carrots, eggplant and will add peppers...

Built some 5 x8 beds outside and have some of them seeded. Most of our rain has passed and the soil is drying out quickly. I don't have irrigation set up yet and need to mulch I think to save moisture. I will probably use straw, but also have spruce chips I think I'll use for trees. Still...

They're between 28" and 32". Just whatever scraps I had so they're not perfect. My geese are tall and destroy things and my back is not great. So tall will be nice. I'll add more pics when I get the rest done. It's 64 today and cloudy and 80 in the greenhouse so definitely gonna have to do...

I am trying to decide it two top end vents for hot air, or one top one lower. We get tons of wind spring and fall, some in summer but not much. So not much airflow in hot months. May consider a fan if necessary. All an experiment right nownow

I built this almost all by myself. First greenhouse so I'm still figuring out how to do it, what to plant inside and outside. I'm thinking I may need a shade cloth in summer, and will eventually have screen doors on both ends for ventilation. It will be added to my automatic water system also. I...

I've been researching this quite a bit but it's not something I've done before so it's seeming a bit complicated. Does anyone have charts or layouts of how they plan their garden? I'm talking about which plants to put together in acidic soil, alkaline soil, also considering which plants don't...

We have so many weeds and animals and poor soil, if the ground isn't covered by wood chips or gravel it's a mess with weeds and duck crap. So I'm spreading out a large area of gravel to keep weeds down. Then I'll put the raised beds up (they'll be almost 3' deep with layers of wood, compost...

Thanks for the tips! On average I think our temps are around 90 in summer and lots of sun. Not much rain here, sunny most of the winter also. Was considering doors on both ends and vents if needed towards the top. Or a shade cover, or roll up the sides. If that doesn't keep it cool enough I'll...

I'm thinking a heavy duty tarp covering, not the cheap stuff that will break down and blow away. I need to figure out if there's plants I can grow in it all summer, wether I need to take it down in the summer will make a difference in how I put it up. I've been searching the forums and learning...

I'm new here and live in idaho. Gardened in the past but quit for a few years. I'm building a whole new system this year to get back into it. Mainly to fight our bad rocky ground where only weeds grow and my many ducks. Working on raised beds and a greenhouse. I haven't figured out the...
