15 Managing temperatures How cold or heat can plants tolerate? High tunnel Low tunnel Floating row cover Ventilation and shade 15
16 Cultural and Environmental Microclimates Plastic mulch Raised beds 16
17 Type Protection *near freezing Covers Advantages Disadvantages Cost/10 tomato plants Row cover cloth (Reemay ) 2-4 F Can leave on Can blow around, not air tight Plastic 2-4 F Air tight Needs support Must ventilate Plastic + cloth 4-13 F Better protection custom size Needs support Must ventilate Wall o water F Can leave on Size, not air tight $33 Plastic/glass cloche 2-5 F Air tight Size, must ventilate $80 $15 $18 $33 Paper cloche (HotKap) 2-4 F Inexpensive flimsy, limits light $10 *Environmental factors prevent 100% accuracy 17
18 Air Temperature with Soil Heating Cables 18
19 Cold Frames Temperature Protection depends on materials (2-10 F near freezing) Advantages Sturdy Compatible with automatic opener Greens year round Disadvantages Not big enough for mature plants Overheat quickly 19
20 Tunnels Temperature Lift 2-4 F near freezing Added protection by stopping wind (hard to measure) Advantages Tall enough to grow most plants Can be built for individual needs Disadvantages Must be ventilated Can get expensive 20

26 Idea for winter watering: Use a large water tank for watering in the cold season If by chance it does freeze solid, it will likely be during a time when you don t need water 26
27 First Harvest July 7, 2009 Outdoors: ~ August
28 Warm Season Tunnel Zucchini Winter Squash Tomatoes Peppers Beans 28
29 Late July in Warm Season Tunnel Lots of powdery mildew on the winter squash and zucchini Tomatoes and peppers are doing well beans have yet to blossom no fruits on the melon 29
30 Considerations for Success Drip irrigation Plant spacing Temperature requirements Fertilizer Pollination 30
31 Summary: Covers and structures increases temperatures during the day so plants start growing earlier, and will fruit sooner. Ventilation and cooling is critical Covers and structures protect plants a little at night, but plants can still freeze 31
32 Selecting a Design Type Ideal Situation Why to use Why not to use Cloth Cover Few plants Easy Benefit is limited Cold frame Fanatic about greens Easy Not big enough for tomatoes Low tunnel Don t mind ventilating Custom size If you forget, the party is over High tunnel Farming/ small business $ Premium Ventilation and maintenance 32
