Time to plant our hoophouse for winter
Bonnie Bucqueroux and her husband Drew Howard have installed a 26 by 36 foot hoophouse they hope will provide them fresh vegetables all winter long. These passive solar greenhouses are increasingly popular with Michigan fruit and vegetable growers, but Bucqueroux and Howard are part of a growing number of home gardeners installing hoophouses as a way to grow more of their own food.
