If you had the inkling to grow some plants during winter - a hoop tunnel certainly will be handy.
This instructable will show you how to make a a simple hoop tunnel for protecting and nurturing your winter crop.
It uses inexpensive materials and can be made in a few minutes.
I measured the inside temperatures during the day and they reached tropical temperatures of 30º roughly - 10º over normal. Everything seems to be growing twice as fast as well. And bugs just seem to be confused and cooked inside.
They're great for balconies to protect your plants from dust and pollution.
Here's how to snap up one in no time at all.
