Finished off putting the laserlite on the sides of the hoophouse. I have some plastic to seal off the ends but will leave that for a while.
Some update pics of the system

Hoops have become misshapen due to high heat and wind but it hasn't blown away

The beetroot looks great! How do you sow that one in AP?
Is your hoop house naturally taller one side?

Well I guess it is natural because of the natural prevailing SW winds and natural high heat.
Sowing in AP is easy , just throw the seeds in and if small do nothing but if bigger like beetroot, peas, beans etc just rub the gravel so that the seeds sink in a bit

Just threw a few red wriggler worms in the tank and watched and saw the two bass in there eating for the first time in two years. They would only be about 100mm in over two years
Might throw a few worms in every day and see if I can get them to grow
