Organic Farming Tunnel

This is a simple, stand-alone plastic tunnel that people can use to start into covered, organic farming. It’s called a Super Solo tunnel.

The tunnel is 25’ x 200’ x approximately 11’ tall at the top of the hoop. The roller door is 12’ wide. The poly is 6 mil, hi UV Luminance and the door poly is 12 mil poly.

It is stand-alone, and with the addition of a $300 trellis kit it is strong enough to support tomatoes, cucumbers and more.

Kits are shipped in a basket with pre-bent, three-piece hoops that the grower bolts together; there’s no on-site bending or construction training required.

Because of the need to grow cover crops, a Jamaican grower suggested building multiple Super Solo tunnels placed 25′ apart and growing cover crops between them. Then, after two years of building up the soil between the tunnels, you can move the tunnels over 25 feet to cover the “new” soil (using the anchors already in the ground) and grow cover crops on the “old” soil.

The only extra hardware needed to move all the tunnels one “space” to the side would be an extra row of anchors alongside the last Super Solo in the row. After two more years, the tunnels would be moved back to their original position.

We believe in this product and are regional distributors of it.
