What is a high-tunnel greenhouse?
A high-tunnel greenhouse, often called a high tunnel, is a simple, unheated structure used to extend the growing season and protect crops from adverse weather. Unlike traditional greenhouses, high tunnels typically rely on passive solar energy and natural ventilation rather than artificial heating or cooling systems. They are covered with durable polyethylene film stretched over a metal frame, creating a protective environment for plants.
Key Features of a High-Tunnel Greenhouse
- Season Extension: High tunnels shield crops from frost and wind, enabling earlier planting in spring and later harvesting in fall.
- Weather Protection: They protect plants from excessive rain, strong winds, and harsh sunlight, reducing stress on crops.
- Improved Growth Conditions: High tunnels create a controlled microclimate that promotes consistent temperatures, better soil moisture retention, and enhanced plant growth.
- Versatility: Suitable for various crops, including vegetables, fruits, and flowers, high tunnels can be used for both organic and conventional farming.
Why Use a High-Tunnel Greenhouse?
High tunnels greenhoues are popular among farmers and gardeners for their affordability, simplicity, and effectiveness in increasing crop yields. They are particularly valuable for growers looking to reduce the risks of unpredictable weather while improving overall productivity and profitability.
