Sash and Cloth Frame Truck Farming Gains Popularity
The piece notes sash or cloth covered frame farming as a growing outdoor occupation. It cites three acres as a practical ground area with high market demand for early vegetables. Costs for sash are 10 cents per square foot with 10 to 12 years’ service. Regions with year round sun allow winter growth with light covering, especially in North Carolina and tidewater Virginia where frame trucking is common. Frames are cheaper than glass, 36 to 50 cents per running foot for a 14 foot bed, and three acres is a good size to rotate frames every three years to prevent disease.
