How to Make a Hoop House for a Raised Bed

By letter2self on June 29, 2024



We’ve been using unheated hoop houses and cold frames for years to extend our growing season here in zone 5. With our first frost approaching, I thought I’d show you how we go about adding a hoop house to one of our 4 x 8 raised beds.

Under Cover Fall/Winter Crops:

Beets
Carrots
Chives
Claytonia
Collard Greens
Dandelion
Egyptian Walking Onions
French Sorrel
Giant Red Mustard Greens
Kale
Lettuce
Mache
Parsley
Red Veined Sorrel
Rutabaga
Salad Burnet
Spinach

OYR is all about growing a lot of food on a little land using sustainable organic methods, while keeping costs and labor at a minimum. Emphasis is placed on improving soil quality with compost, mulch, and compost tea. No store-bought fertilizers, soil amendments, pesticides, compost activators, etc. are used.
