Dr. John A. King's hoop house carpet got soaked when a green arch redirected rain onto it. He dug a trench, added mulch, and installed a gutter to divert water away, but rain is forecast for the next five to six days.
A bit wet. Rain got in a big way last night. The whole carpet's drenched. We put some additions on the hoop house and, um, needed to have thought one thing through. We put the green arch on to stop the sun, uh, during the day hitting that, the silver tarp, and heating up the interior. But we didn't take into calculations was it was going to move the, the rain back here and there's nothing to catch it. So I dug this trench this morning just briefly to move it around and put in some mulch there you see up in the middle. And Justin's idea was to build a gutter, so I've got this gutter in that's just catching the rain off and diverting it to the lie of the land. It appears that it will, uh, it It'll move the water around enough to keep it dry, but, uh, it's gonna rain for the next, like, 5 or 6 days, so I don't know if we'll, uh, the carpet will get dry before we head back to Texas.
