This Webinar, presented by Tim Coolong of the University of Kentucky, was an introduction to season extension using high tunnels. It covered common issues associated with tunnel production, and provided a short overview of how to construct a low cost pvc tunnel. The Webinar is for growers who are interested in season extension, but who may not want to invest a large amount of money right away.
