It’s not what you do, it’s the way that you do it

This article is about Postharvest temperature management. Rain events are associated with a higher level of fruit damage from fungal infection and/or snail and slug damage. Many growers are moving to high tunnels for this reason. If you are growing under low cloches, make sure the hoops are away from the edges of the raised beds so that when the covers are raised and lowered, water doesn’t drip on the outside rows.
