    @sandraabercrombie2454 14 днів тому

    OK, I am confused. I understand that this is 6 Mil plastic panels that are just placed in the 4 corners of the side walls. Wind will not blow through this plastic. Are you saying that this is a way to prevent the wind from racking you hoop house? Does this strengthen the frame of the hoop house? This has to cut down on ventilation, right? I sound stupid here, but I honestly don't understand "WHY? I need this addition to my hoop house". I do get a lot of wind as I am surrounded by large farm fields. If this is not for strength, what advantage does it give me? Please advise. 😟

    • @BootstrapFarmer
      @BootstrapFarmer 14 днів тому

      In the winter when your roll up sides are down a gap forms that cold can get in the hoop house or heat escapes. This helps to prevent wind getting in the gap.

    Question: Do you need to worry about disease to the vines along the ground if they are laying on soil and/or mulch rather than fabric/plastic? Thank much.

    • @BootstrapFarmer
      @BootstrapFarmer 18 днів тому

      While disease is always possible, you can reduce the threats by not overcrowding, keeping leaves and fruits from the ground, properly venting, and unrestricted airflow. The watering is best done at ground level at the base of the plant and not overhead or shower wand-type watering. You would also not want to over water where pools of damp soil could attract insects or fungus growth.

      We recommend looking at takeout options from webstaurant, Amazon or food distributors. Try out what works best for you and get feedback from customers to dial in your options. Once you trial out that packaging, you can then try to source from the manufacturer direct if volume calls for it.

      The Hand-held Maxi 1 creates just one tall block, measuring 4" x 4" x 4" - a substantial size for larger seedlings while also providing maximum aeration. It is perfect for up-potting vine crops early in the season, from smaller soil blocks to planting larger tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers after the last frost dates.
