Stone's Throw Farm

We put the plastic on the hoophouse yesterday! Many thanks to the crew:  Dave Hanlon (holding Lila Dalen), Elden, Rick Dalen, Janaki Fisher-Merritt, Sara & Matt Weik, Karola Dalen, Tyreese, and Sampson The Dog. The process went really well, as far as I’m concerned. Elden and I rolled out the plastic and folded it in half to make a double-strength sheet 48′ x 50′, then tied 3 tennis balls onto the leading edge of the plastic and threw the ropes over the structure. When the crew arrived, we pulled the plastic over the top and everybody helped attach the sides and ends using a wirelock system. Piece of cake.

Karola photographed the whole process, lent a hand when needed, and watched Lila all at the same time — thanks!
