RE: Simple Cheap Hoop House Alternative & Extend Growing Season

You were told MANY times before you planted to build a large hothouse over the top of your garden. You declined. You were told repeatedly to haul in soil for your overly acidic soil. You declined. You were told repeatedly to go to the extension office and pay the $10 for a proper soil test so you could prepare your garden bed properly. You said "no." You were told repeatedly to learn how to make compost. You didn't. You were told you needed to prepare a garden calendar and grow crops at certain times of the year and with different life spans so you could avoid problems with the cold. You didn't. You were told to make a greenhouse to grow you seedlings earlier. You didn't. You were told to cover your plants at night with plastic before they froze. You failed. You were told to fertilize. You only did so AFTER the plants were in the ground. You were told to put a real fence around your garden to protect it from critters. Instead you installed your stupid electric fence that didn't stop anything except maybe deer. You were told not to introduce MORE acidic content to your garden. But you didn't pay attention and put pine chips and needles in your garden despite pleas not to do so. You were told you couldn't plant corn so late. But you did so anyway. You were told to prepare a root cellar like any REAL homesteader would. You didn't. You were told to install a sprinkler on a long hose at your garden. Instead you had Melanie lug water to the garden every day. You were told so many other things by experienced gardeners and you heeded NONE of their advice and could not cite any reasonable source as to why you didn't and shouldn't. You lack even a modicum of gardening and farming skills. But you blame nautre. That's rich.
