Currently the hoop house is being renovated by Declan, Max and with the help of James and Miles. Before the new covering went up the hoop house was being covered by a white tarp. The tarp was ripping where it had been resting on the bars that shaped the 'hoop' house.
When the tarp was off the hoop house the farm looked oddly naked. The new hoop house covering is a strong sheet plastic that is being set in place like shingles so that no water can leak inside and instead runoff the sides and soak into the soil.
The renovation is also part of Declan and Max's final project, which I think was a great idea to upgrade our farm. The purchasing for the items used in renovating the hoop house completely dried our Sustainable Agriculture funds, so it is crucial that our seedlings and young plants flourish in the new hoop house.
