Corn and High Tunnel

We've been flying along on the high tunnel.  We're down to the final pieces that are needed to hold the plastic on, and then we'll be putting on the automated roll up side curtains parts. I'm hoping that this coming week we'll be able to pull the cover on.  Now that we're nearing completion I can see all of the ways that I could have made things go a little faster and smoother, but that's always the way when you do a project for the first time.  I've made some major changes to our high tunnel based on the input from other guys who have had their high tunnels up and had serious issues with manufacturer design flaws.  Weak side walls and zippers were a major complaint that we heard from just about everyone, so we've installed hard sides made of fiber glass panels and wood framing to overcome that flaw.  We've put in sliding doors and a man-door on the west side of the high tunnel as well.  Regulating temperatures was the other issue that we have heard regularly so we went ahead and invested in the temperature controlled automatic side curtains.  This was a huge expense, but we figured that if we lose one set of plants because of our inability to manage the temperature, it would more than pay for the side curtains.
We'll take a break from the high tunnel today to combine and haul our corn.  We're hoping for a good crop and we'll know by the end of the day how we yielded.
