But they also create a new microclimate with new rules: overheating, humidity spikes, irrigation demands, shifting pest pressure, and sometimes pollination problems.</p><p>Today on Just Grow Something, we break down what problems protected culture solves, what it tends to make harder, and how to predict those tradeoffs before you invest. You’ll learn the core principals of tunnels and greenhouses, like temperature, humidity, airflow, and water, plus what changes when you grow in containers, raised beds, or in-ground under cover.</p><p>Let’s dig in!</p><p><strong>Resources</strong>:</p><p>High Tunnels and Other Season Extension Techniques - SARE: <a href="https://www.sare.org/resources/high-tunnels-and-other-season-extension-techniques/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.sare.org/resources/high-tunnels-and-other-season-extension-techniques/</a></p><p>NRCS (USDA) — Controlling the High Tunnel Environment: <a href="https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/sites/default/files/2022-10/Controlling-High-Tunnel-Environment.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/sites/default/files/2022-10/Controlling-High-Tunnel-Environment.pdf</a></p><p><br></p><p>Just Grow Something: <a href="https://justgrowsomething.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://justgrowsomething.com</a></p><p>Gardening Courses: <a href="https://justgrowsomething.com/courses" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://justgrowsomething.com/courses</a></p><p>Just Grow Something Merch and Downloads: <a href="https://justgrowsomething.com/shop" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://justgrowsomething.com/shop</a></p><p>Just Grow Something Gardening Friends Facebook Group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18YgHveF5P/ " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18YgHveF5P/ </a></p><p>Check out how you can become a patron on Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/JustGrowSomething" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.patreon.com/JustGrowSomething</a></p><p>Feed my coffee habit: <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/justgrowsomething" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://buymeacoffee.com/justgrowsomething</a></p><p>Amazon storefront: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/justgrowsomething" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.amazon.com/shop/justgrowsomething</a></p><p><br></p>
