About

I help growers stretch budgets without sacrificing safety. Expect full-cost breakdowns, from anchors to automation, and clear upgrade paths matched to your climate.

Core Beliefs

Value isn’t the lowest price; it’s the right bones and smart add-ons for your microclimate.

Background

When groceries spiked, I priced a mid-range polycarbonate kit against a DIY tunnel. I tracked every bolt, bracket, and kilowatt. We added rain catchment and a homemade shade sail. Payback landed in month 22, even counting a vent upgrade. My kids still brag about December lettuce wraps.

Perspective

I prioritize total installed cost, durability per dollar, and modular pathways over premium aesthetics.
