Plasticulture - Small Tunnel Covers

Small Tunnel Covers

Small tunnel covers are about 1m wide and 1m high, and have a thinner polyethylene film than the large tunnel covers, usually below 80μm. Their lifetime is also shorter than that of the larger versions, they usually have a duration of 6–8 months. Use of small tunnels is less popular than both the more expensive but durable greenhouses/walk-in tunnels and the cheaper plastic mulch.

Famous quotes containing the words small, tunnel and/or covers:

    “We unlearn. I am a shore

    Go child, who is my sin and nothing more.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “And mimic desolation covers all.”
