Wind bad

The wind last Saturday was not very helpful, and it managed to take off a good part of the plastic on one of the caterpillar tunnels. It was flapping pretty badly and I got a rope over it, but in the end I didn’t want to risk the plastic ripping, so with the help of two small boys we pushed it over the hoops onto the ground.

Not a huge deal since that tunnel doesn’t come online with plantings until late April. It is a bit annoying to have to re-rope the whole thing. I’m going to do a different way this time with individual rope sections instead of one long shoelace style. The shorter lengths are secured with trucker hitch knots and I think are going to be more manageable for adjusting sections instead of having to traverse the whole tunnel to tighten the plastic down. More on that later.
