@thumper60 Not to mention the garden, that a carport you use as a hoop house? If so what do you use for a cover? Awesome plants!
Yup thats a 20-30 carport 14ft at the peak I use regular green house poly. I have to remove cover in the winter or it would cave in from snow load. I get 3 yrs out of the poly before replacing. I really only cover last 8 weeks of flower really helps to keep bud rot at bay.

How do you secure the plastic? I have built a PVC hoop and then use bootstrap clips. Works well but not so well if it's windy.

I wire tie 1inx2in wood strapping to the metal frame staple the poly down, then i add another piece of strapping on top of the stapled down poly. It will never pull out i worked many yrs putting up pipe staging this is the way we polyed it in the winter so the masons could lay brick all winter. I do the same with a pvc house also

Badass haul. Fellow garlic growers, unite ! Tell me more about what’s in the stash of jars. Canned, fermented, both? I like to ferment kraut and hot sauces.
