Event Description:
Build Your Own High Tunnel Green House. The high tunnel construction workshop will be an opportunity to take part in and learn to build a low input tunnel. Participants will earn what materials are needed to build a high tunnel out of PVC pipe. We will go through every stp of the building process and have a seable 12 by 20’ high tunnel by day’s end. High tunnels allow for year round production of cool season crops without the use of supplement heat . High tunnels also extend the growing season of heat lovin crops like tomatoes by 3-4 weeks. That means that gardeners can be producing tomatoes by early June witout an enormous heat bill.
