High Tunnel Maintenance and Repair

Saturday, March 30, 2024 · 10 am–noon

Carver Center, 9432 N. James Madison Highway, Rapidan, VA


When growing vegetables in a controlled environment, you need a strong and safe structure for you and your vegetable crop. Now is the time to prepare your high tunnel for spring planting. The high tunnel must be planned, designed, and constructed from a manufactured kit with directions. Periodically inspect and repair the high tunnel as needed to maintain a strong structure. This workshop teaches you how.
