I really want a high tunnel so I can walk in on a cold winter day! 
How do folks solve the issue of ventilation of low tunnels on sunny days? The small size means it heats up quickly in the sun, and I am not available to cover/uncover all day long. Does anyone have a good solution to this issue?  |
Use row cover instead of 4 mil greenhouse plastic.
