Looks fine to me! Whatever works, right? I have much shorter tunnels as I really didn’t expect to be growing this much food and we made a big per. bed where all the crops should go- hind sight is 20/20! I made my tunnels into chenilles, so harvesting, watering, weeding, etc. is much easier- I’m a little surprised, but they really hold up to the wind well :), thankfully!

In reply to Rachel. Those are just what I want when I move up to PVC pipe! Thank you! I'm glad to see a more local source for Nematodes too!

Amy, I was at Nichols Nursery in Albany on Saturday and I saw these Garden Clips that secure the clear plastic to the hoops – you can find it on Page 83 of their catalog at: www.nicholsgardennursery.com/Files/Merchandise.pdf to see the photo andd description. I haven’t tried them yet, but I think they look useful, and wishing I had bought them now that I am reading about your process. I will be out building these next weekend in our garden – weather permitting!

And with our fickle weather it sure makes sense.

Looks to me like your clothespins and timbers worked just fine! I think it’s great you were able to use what you had, and make it work. Well done!
