He was showing his new method of quickly creating a 2 row hoop house. It looked like a nice easy way of doing this. The one question I have is that because he and Johnny’s couldn’t get a device on the market that bent metal conduit in time, he was using PVC conduit.

We’ve heard for some time the issues that seem to exist with PVC and with the release of the Body of Evidence report, I was a little surprised and disappointed to see PVC used here. Not wantingn to spend the money (and lacking the skill) to bend mental conduit, I wonder if I could cut some saplings for the same purpose. I think I’ll give this a try later this week. I’ll only need about 5 for the short beds I plan to use it with…
