Hoop houses are up with new plastic. It is difficult to keep them up with all the wind. Soil in the hoops was deep tilled with a fork, with a deep hole left for fish heads. It will be filled with a mix of potting soil, compost, manure and topsoil. The rye cover crop is spotty because it was planted late after bringing in more soil. I will add oats in a day or so. The cover will be mowed, sprayed with glyphosate before the hoops come out and tilled just once. We have added 7 truck loads of compost, about double what we used last year. It will be time to go fishing once the weather straightens out. And turkey hunting; the neighborhood flock walked by about 70 yards away as I put up the hoops.
