DIY Portable Low Tunnel Kit
DIY Low Tunnels
Protect your seedlings from extreme temperatures, insects, and sunscald. Low tunnels offer many of the benefits of a hoop house without a big investment of space or money. Once built, they are easy to move between garden beds or rows of crops.
Snap-on clamps make it easy to switch coverings from greenhouse plastic in the coolness of early spring to shade cloth in the heat of summer. Learn how to effectively extend your growing season with various covers in this helpful article.
