Growing in hoophouses reduces the impact of increasingly unpredictable climate on crops, mitigates soil erosion, extends growing seasons, and strengthens regional food supply. The Year-Round Hoophouse teaches how to site, design, and build a hoophouse and successfully grow abundant produce all year in a range of climates.
Design and build a hoophouse or polytunnel, and grow abundant produce year-round in any climate
The Year-Round Hoophouse is the comprehensive guide to designing and building a hoophouse and making a success of growing abundant, delicious fresh produce all year, whatever your climate and land size. Chapters include:
Hoophouse siting, size, style, frame construction, and tools
Bed layout, soil, crop rotations, and extensive coverage of various crops for all seasons
Organic solutions to pests and diseases
Disaster preparation
Tested resources for each chapter.
The Year-Round Hoophouse is ideal for farmers who wish to move into protected growing, as well as beginning farmers in rural and urban spaces. It is an essential reference resource for professors and students of courses in sustainable agriculture, as well as interns and apprentices learning on the job.
Growing in hoophouses also known as high tunnels or polytunnels reduces the impact of an increasingly unpredictable climate on crops, mitigates soil erosion, extends the growing season, keeps leafy greens alive through the winter, and enables growers to supply more regional food needs.
We offer $7.95 flat rate shipping for any order delivered within Australia, and $14.95 for deliveries to New Zealand, no matter how many items you choose!
Plus, you’ll get full tracking for your shipment, so you can easily keep an eye on it.
