- The layout and planting methods used in high tunnels are more critical than in the field because the smaller area of the high tunnel is so much more intensely managed. The plants are spaced more closely and maintained more highly than in the field. The expectations for higher productivity are greater.dapting layout and planting methods to accommodate these differences is important to success. At the same time, the principles of high tunnel layout are similar to those used in the field. Multiple crops in one high tunnel. Tunnel layout really begins when a crop is removed in the fall.

If a gopher lives in the tunnel, the hole will be plugged within a day or two. Pocket gophers eat forbs (a non-grasslike herbaceous plant), grasses, shrubs, even small trees.Some preferred forbs include alfalfa, dandelion, and prickly pear cactus.lways place pocket gopher bait in the main burrow tunnel, not the lateral tunnels. Use a metal rod probe to locate the main burrow. You may have to probe repeatedly to locate the gopher's main burrow. When the probe penetrates the gopher burrow, there will be a sudden, noticeable drop of about 2 inches.

Growing Your Own Hops Hops like to climb so planting close to a fence, wall or post is a good idea. Many people connect a strong twine/string from a stake in the ground to a hook secured in their house, fence, etc. After the hops pop out of the ground, and when they are about 1 foot in length, wrap them clockwise around your support string or pole. They will continue to grow up the string, occasionally needing your help in being wrapped. In the first year, when growth is not too vigourous, you can even use a long 8' stake.
