Concrete is not the best of idea's for our situation. 25$ a bag; for two buckets, that aint cheap.
Sand and big stones are your best idea, since you're plantation is in a canyon; as far as i know, your best bet would be to bring in a shovel and dig up some rocky dirt, that'll do more than enough if you place the buckets 6"s below the surface. A lot less hiking, and a lot less trouble hiking the supplies back. And that's something all guerrilla's want to do; save on trips.
ug, trying to keep it realllll

nomaad-good call man. gives off a piercing tinging hell noise
microgram-foreal. but i dont know if ten foot possibly 11 foot pvc would stand straight up and not fall over if it was just a foot deep in rock and sand, maybe but i doubt it. im going to conserve concrete by also applying rock and sand for half of the buckets contents. but good points.

Maybe check hanuman's tunnel which he made with bamboo sticks and plastic foil. Might be too small for your plants though and you will have to adapt it to your needs

i've been using greencure as a preventitive since mid sept, spraying the plants before a rain, and then again after the rain (sprayed the plants 5times so far)..
the weather for the last 7 days has been sunny,mid 60's, with a breeze, and everyday for the last week, in the am, i am cutting out rot...everyday... if greencure helps, i can't tell... my feeling is once rot hits, time to take em down..
and after every cut, i am cleaning the scissors with achohol...i'm not impressed with the product

I just got 8 of these.
Because of the size and location of the plants that need to get covered, doing hoops would have been a mess. These were around $300 for the 8 of them. Hopefully they will be around for next year. They are basically made with rain fly material from a cheap walmart tent comapny.

i have been adding bamboo structure for the last week along with a dickton of green tape. This is when I wish I had put in the hortinova netting at the last week of stretch.
I am hoping that I can manage to do a good enough anchoring job on these canopies... The forecast is for 39mph gusts. These fuckers are going to want to fly. 8 big blue kites.
My two biggest are coming down. 100% cloudy trichomes... I would like to wait another few days on em, but building a shelter for them would just be madness.
Good luck everybody.
