PITTSBORO, N.C.–High tunnels are becoming more popular in our area and as their popularity increases, so does the need for construction knowledge. At this field day, we will discuss the process of installing a high tunnel and get hands on construction experience. We will also discuss site selection, purchasing and common pitfalls of high tunnel installation. Come prepared with gloves and sunscreen as we will be in the field most of the day.
