Patch Overview: April 20th, 2019

Drip Irrigation
This images shows a general patch overview and the difference in the spacing of the drip tapes between the indoor (9”) and outdoor (18”) plant areas. The wind has been moving some of the drip lines as they have not taken a set from recently being taken off the stock roll.

Cold Frames
The small cold frames that are in both the structure and the outdoor site are 5ft. wide and 9ft. long. For construction details check out this video I made…

Large Structure End Walls
The end walls on the structure are up and 6mil greenhouse grade plastic has been installed along with the 48” aluminum high velocity shutter vents. There is a tilt to the patch with the left side being higher than the right. To take advantage of this natural elevation change there is one vent on the left that will have an exhaust fan and two vents on the right (lower side) that will provide the cool outside air intake.

There is still plenty of work to do, but progress is being made.
