They are also called high tunnels. Like a cold frame but tall enough to
walk into. I think there is someone in Extension who specializes in 'high
tunnel production'.

If there was a preliminary message talking about high towers, I missed it.
Are these high tower for sale or do they need to be constructed on site. It
doesn't sound too difficult for a person with tools.
Peace,
Grace, Morrison

A high tower is basically a walk in cold frame with plastic walls, ceiling
and doors, no artificial heat source just solar heat. The high towers at
Grand Rapids U of M experimental station have walls that can be rolled up to
help control heat and ventilation. It adds about another month or so to the
growing season.
