    I just had to make a comment. I had a garden center 16 yrs. We cut 8-12" sections from black 2" PVC pipe, then cut out a strip so we can bend them down over the metal pipe. Works like a charm and less expensive and time consuming than when we bought a section of wiggle wire channels

    HUUGGEEEE THANKS LEON !!! Best High tunnel description and construction methods I've heard / seen so far. Simplified way down the GOOD high tunnel construction methods. Of course; like you said; the "easy, conduit, etc" versions are simple; but you get what you pay for with them. Really like your gift for describing things simply. Step by step and very clear. Keep on truckin' Leon !!!

    You explained the concept of tunneling for heat retention so well everyone should now understand. People always laugh when I put caterpillar tunnels inside the hoop house. I use rebar stakes hammered into the ground to attach hula-hoops to (yes, the toy), cover them with plastic and they work great inside the hoop house. I live in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, so our hoop house gets completely stripped and put to bed for the winter, but I absolutely love how you twist the outside ropes over each 4' section and will be using your method this year. Our winds can easily reach 80-100mph and our hail & wind storms can devastate crops for miles, so anything we can do to strengthen our houses helps. Have you ever attached a water-catchment system to your hoop-houses? Our hoop-houses can produce enough water to more than cover our gardening requirements for the season, we have friends in Alaska that use their hoop-houses to water their crops too. It never ceases to amaze me just how much water we actually collect, in fact, half of it goes to our overflow. Love watching your set-ups and technique, our growing season is of course totally different than yours, but it's amazing how many of your techniques work no matter where you live. Happy Gardening.

    Wow! You're a wealth of useful information, Mister! The info about the ropes and the nested mini tunnels, with degree benefit for each layer was so useful to me. I'm building a tunnel right now and have been thinking about how I'd either put panels on top over winter to keep the tarp from flapping around, or figure out another way. You've just guided me to that other way - ropes. I have pre-drilled struts, in 12 gauge, for side purlins and an extra set for rolling the tarp, so I have the structure in place to weave the rope taut and keep it taut. Thanks so much, Mister!

I have experimented with balcony gardening before by putting bags of potting soil in trays of water made from pvc and plastic. It worked OK but took a lot of space which I do not have. I want to try your buckets using 2-gallon buckets to stack them to make towers and grow greens and herbs. if I do I will make a video and give a link to your channel, thanks again.
