FARMING UNDER COVER

Very  soon  the  new  " high  tunnel  " will  be  delivered .  The  only  real  difference  between  it and  a green  house ,  is that  the  planting  is done  directly  in the  soil .  Here's an example  of high  tunnel  farming . 
The  plants  are  protected  from  extreme  weather  

This is  a  gothic style  high  tunnel   (the  kind  we are  putting  in  )

The  biggest advantage  of  under  cover  farming  is the  extended  growing  season !  We can  start  planting  earlier  and harvest  later .  This  will  help  us  improve  our  plant,  produce  and  seed  stock .

From  the  bears  view ,  they  are  scared  that  it comes  in a gazillion  pieces and  they have  to  figure  out  how  to  put  it  up!
