Day 1. The high tunnel will be delivered today. I don’t expect it until later this afternoon. The hoop on the left is still standing. I’ll uncover it today and pull the weeds. The hoop on the right is down and the weeds have been pulled. I’ll move the ribs and hardware to the right, out of the way. These are excellent from late spring to late fall. One snow fall is all it took to wipe them out. After a missed family event in January I knew these weren’t going to work for us. One will be moved and planted in strawberries. We’ll uncover it in November before the snow falls and cover it again in late March/early April depending on the snow. The other will be moved and put together on pasture. It’s going to be used for 25 meat chickens that are coming next month. Ends will be closed with chicken wire for air flow. The birds will go out during the day and in for safety at night.
