I wonder if I could eliminate the top truss and use individual posts to hold the hoops. Probably not because the rain or snow would try to slide the plastic down between the hoops. It was a good hoop house, but Ive got the reverse problem, the plant isnt even close to filling it. So slow. I should have added bone meal here, and magnesium and boron and not (unintentionally) dropped manure deep into the planting hole where it just gets acidic/anaerobic. I cut the wrong corners, year after year. I switched to a black barrel to give the vine tip something dark to "avoid". But mostly its just the weather. No hot days. We hit 70 one day. Thats it for warm weather so far.
