  High Tunnel Greenhouse
  • Extends growing season
  • Improves plant and soil health
  • Balances soil nutrients through good management
  • Reduces energy use while providing consumers with a local produce
Rather than reinventing the wheel so to speak, instead below is a short list of videos on High Tunnels (some call them a greenhouse with different distinctions between the two) that discuss what they are, setup, what to grow, operation and maintenance tips.  This is just a starter list of videos.  And as always, with this list of videos, this is not an endorsement of any brand or product.  It is just intended to give a person some visual ideas and maybe a starting point if you are just getting into it.
