Where can we confirm the claim that the A2 type can survive in the soil? If that's true, it's a major departure from the previous strain. I think it needs to be checked out, as that would then require changes in the way the disease is managed.
We get strong winds at times as well. A neighbour of mine has a strongly built polytunnel type of structure, with a roof and no walls. That might be the way to go. If I was going to build a tomato house, I'd want something that would keep plants warm in spring, and protect them from late frosts, without getting hot in summer heatwaves. Right now I'm a bit unsure how best to go about it.
