    Leon is a very generous man. Generous with his knowledge. He’s no nonsense. I consider it a huge privilege to have met him. He’s a very well respected man not only in his community, but outside as well.

    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

  • @MsK-xm7vw

    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.

    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 !!!

    I feel like my grandpa is explaining this all to me. I've been looking for an old head to answer a few questions before i build mine because these city folk with a tiny greenhouse in the back yard ($5k kit) just isn't cutting it. That man knows a thing or two because he has seen a thing or two.

    Thanks for teaching me something about farming! I've subscribed and hope to learn more to assist in my backyard garden! And to think that former NYC mayor Bloomberg said that there's nothing to farming - "Dig a hole, put in a seed, water it, and you have food!" He might be a billionaire, but he has a lot to learn!

    Hi Leon, I am an old gardener here in the mountains of East Tennessee and came across this video. You seem like a man of great knowledge and can not wait to see some more of your videos. I am new to these hoop houses and green houses and am looking to build something or another to extend our growing season here. My favorites are tomatoes and cucumbers. Take care and stay healthy.

    I miss everyone of them. I hope some people will listen to you, you have years of knowledge and experience in a world of foolishness. The internet is awesome for dispensing your knowledge but i miss not shaking your hand. Thank you sir for taking the time.
    Now I'd like to buy a peck of tomatoes from you for your trouble.
