      Hiya, in this vid you said it was easy to handle the rodent problem. Do you have a vid how you did it or can you tell me how? I got mice and squirrels popping into my green house and eating my greens. Usually, the mice would burrow under the greenhouse and sometimes those squirrels would use those tunnels.

    Being able to grow food all year round is a game changer. We live in growzone 10b so that’s what we do. It enables us to grow enough food for 5 people on a 4k square feet raised bed garden and a 3.3k square feet forest garden. The forest garden are planted with trees that ripen at different times during the year, so that we have fresh fruit all year round. I have 16 raised beds, but because I can grow all year, it’s like having double that.
    Congratulations on your new high tunnel.

    You should install some area near the ceiling for the chicken to hang out. The highest place is the warmest place as heat rises. It would also help the chicken survive if some predator animal made it inside the tent, but cannot climb or fly to go after the chicken. All it takes is some long wood planks across the tent installed next to one another until you got a ceiling floor, for the chicken. And you got a nice work crew there, by the way:)

Over here in Australia a lot of folks drive star pickets in the ground, then bend black poly water pipe and slip them down the picket, then string low profile roof top hat along the length, some timber along the base and then roll heavy duty clear plastic over the structure, very similar to how you guys have done yours. That is a great set up you have got though, should get years old benefit from it. Well done family
