We are still a few weeks out from getting our garden in the ground. Lows this week are high 20's- low 30's. Got our main planting bed ready. New compost, new dog fencing.
This year we also are hooping the garden so we can roll out plastic at night.
Hoops are electrical conduit. Holds up better than irrigation PVC in the sunlight. Simple connections. At the top drilled holes in the 2x4 for slip fit. Compression holds the pipe in the hole. Plastic pipe straps at the fence line to keep them from shifting side to side. Plastic gets attached to the 2x at the top. At the bottom Duct taped to electrical conduit. Conduit holds it down and gives you something rigid to roll it back up. I'll photo that when I put the plastic on in a week or so. Black plastic will cover the fence.
Few things came up from last years planting. Radishes and spinach!
Some of this years starts
Smoke away!!!
