Hi Cécélia, Thanks so much for your kind comments!! We do have a few articles about low hoops / mini hoop tunnels on this website (https://farm-kits.com/low-tunnel-hoops/) and when I put them in my greenhouse I typically use wire hoops. I buy 50 foot lengths of 9 gauge wire from the hardware store, cut them to length, and bend them over the bed. Then cover with row cover. Quick and easy! 🙂 Good luck. Niki

Love your book, Year round…
I have an insulated 2×8’cold frame which is against my 6×8’greenhouse. For the upcoming winter(area 5, NB)
I wanted to plant some cold loving veggies inside my unheated greenhouse, I want to put a hoop house inside the greenhouse, do you know of links where I could see how to do? I ve been searching the net without any luck.

Thank you in advance and happy winter gardening 👩‍🌾

Yes, you sure can! I talk about this in my book Growing Under Cover. It’s an easy way to insulate crops in a cold frame. – Niki

Hi Leanne, I usually start seeding cold hardy veggies in my cold frames in late Feb/early March. My faves include spinach, leaf lettuce, scallions, kale (for baby greens), arugula, and bok choy. Hope that helps! 🙂 Niki

Great question! It will still extend the season but, depending where you live and what you’re going to plant, maybe not for the entire winter. You can still expect to extend the season by about 6 to 8 weeks. – Niki

Thanks so much! A 4 by 8 is pretty big – the top is heavy and hard to prop up when the weather is nice. I prefer 3 by 6 foot. But if you want to build bigger, go ahead, but you’ll likely need two strong props to keep it open on mild days. Good luck! 🙂 Niki
