high tunnel, trellising questions

wackybell
17 years ago

ok so I bought a 30 x 48 high tunnel. We drove the pipes in the ground last week, and that's as far as we got(not bad for Jan.) I've spent some time figuring what to grow in it and I've dicided to grow tomatoes and cukes. I've done most of my reading off of www.hightunnel.org. Here are my questions for all you high tunnel growers out there.

1. how many rows can I grow in a 30 ft wide tunnel? (I think 5 1/2? )

2. how wide are your ally's 12" or 18"?

Or do I just line up my rows under the purlins.

Next, questions on trellising cukes and indeterminate tomatoes;

how does this string attach to the tomato base in the first place? I understand that you have to keep clipping and pruning them. But I don't get how you first set up this trellis system.

how many clips do you think I will need for 3 rows of tomatoes and 2 rows of cukes?

Thank you very much

Kristi
