If I knew it was going to be such a mild winter here in Upstate NY I would have made one of these last year over my garden. Normally it's buried under 4 feet of snow or more

[DJMovit]

Nice Job! I think Chloe will be going in to sales / Presentations when she joins the workforce...did a very nice job and seemed comfortable presenting it!

[TheNaturesFriends]

thank you

[Sorren11]

Verry nice!

[TheNaturesFriends]

[RunThemAll]

Nice. I didn't know you could grow in the winter. I'll be doing this next year. I hope Ohio isn't too cold!

[TheNaturesFriends]

Those hoop gardens work great I've got one. thx

[HappyJackProduction1]

I would use the irrigation type pvc, its way more resistant to cracking from the sun light drying out the plastic....very common with regular white pvc. Really good video, i may use your method

[TheNaturesFriends]

thank you we have a lot of fun they work very well

[bradgray51]

Best part of this whole video is you and your daughter doing it together.. memories forever for both of you.. how awesome!

I'm going to do this over my sq. ft. boxes. thanks for the ideas.

[PyR0Star]

neato! =D

[TheNaturesFriends]

we do not change the soil we feed it with compost 1 time a year we till it in, in the spring thank you for watching write me any time

[suegee1950]

@TheNaturesFriends I made a similar cover, Annapolis MD, last fall. It;s Feb and I am still harvesting swiss chard, lettuce, collards, broccoli, cauliflower, kale and cabbage. I might try planting some early crops like peas directly under cover soon to see how that goes. Try retaining daytime sun heat by putting rocks or milk jugs filled with water under plastic. Also check out WINTER SOWING on youtube (starting seeds in milk jug mini-greenhouses placed out in snow). I want to try that next!

upstate new york and the only trouble I had was the pipe comes out at 18" so I made them 24" works better in sand like we have here.we used full length of 3/4'' and that reduce the tension.now my three questions are: if it is used all winter,do you feed your plants more for the cold season?? also do you have to change your soil in your hoop garden? if so how many years does it stay before changing?thank you

great video

[ellie3637]

How nice getting your child involved, thumbs up!

[TheNaturesFriends]

we got the plastic at lowes it was 10ft by 25ft any home center will have it thanks for watching 

[bluerose357]

where could you purchase the plastic cover?

[TheNaturesFriends]

if you watch our how to build a garden box we tell how big and supplies the hoop vid gives the supplies if not let me know

[spiritartman]

Anyway you can itemize exactly what you purchased for supplies. Thanks

[spiritartman]

How big is the area? meaning what size wood did you use to make the box? I want to emulate what you did

[TheNaturesFriends]

yes 3/4pvc the white kind it bends great as you see in our vid good luck

[spiritartman]

Hey thereI was at Home depot. Are you sure the PVC tube is 3/4 and not 1/2 I tried bending the 3/4 inch and it did not want to budge. 1/3 bended nicely

[pstajk]

Uhhhhhhhhh duh

[Artzyful]

Thnx for posting this great tip!

[TheNaturesFriends]

thanks for watching ours is working great

[petroscans]

Good video. I'm using a similar system in Southern Utah for Four season growing.

[TheNaturesFriends]

thank you we love to share

[foofarters]

Your design is so sweet and easy to follow. Keep up the good work...You guys make a great team. My daughter is 8 and helps a little, but I'm sure she will do more next year.

[Allen2045]

I made 3 of these. I was able to eat a home grown salad out of my garden this week when others in my area were planting seeds.

[cfenster]

You need to hook up with mhpgardener (Bobby). You two are pretty close to each other. You could exchange seeds over a cup of coffee in the winter inside his little hoop house ;). Nice job on the hoop house! I have a 12X20 foot version made from the same materials. There are only a few things that will grow year around here in garden zone 7 without constant heat in the hoop house. Lettuce, cabbage, carrots, herbs, cauliflower, and potatoes did ok for us. I will heat it like Bobby did this year.

[RockyCropFarm]

Great demo!. I'll be putting one up just like this one. I needed to know demensions. Thanks so much.

[hogkillerjp]

i am going to build 1 of these tomorrow! thanks for this great idea!

[mhpgardener]

Thats so simple, even I could do it..maybe ! Great idea ! .. Bobby

[curlyqpd]

Love this design...so clever!!!

[stymye]

@curlyqpd no offence but, this design has been around for ages
