High Tunnel System

This video is about a high tunnel that was built in St. Paul Minnesota by Urban Roots during the summer of 2018 with financial and technical assistance from USDA/NRCS. Urban Roots has been growing vegetables on the East Side of St. Paul for 20 years. This years planted crops include cucumbers, peppers, and ginger. This video demonstrates the step-by-step procedure for building a high tunnel in an urban setting. The advantages and methods for growing vegetables, including pest management in a high tunnel system, are discussed. Videography by Jerry Stenger.

    Vic here, Penny's asleep and I like to borrow her phone in the evenings. I'm the hubby. Thank you very much. This was very informative. I'd love to learn more about gardening and do something on this scale.

    Nice information. Question- why concrete for posts in city, but not in rural application?

    I believe that is because they want to be extra sure that the structure won't pull out during high winds and cause damage to adjacent areas in an urban setting, compared to more open a rural areas.
