3. Exactly how are the strings intertwined? I have been looking on line but
   your video is the only thing I have seen. Need a close up of how it is
   done. Thanks

5. Great video. Fellow CO gardener, will have to do some more research and
   experimenting on my raised beds using this method!

6. Thank you for these wonderful videos I appreciate the advice from people
   that are doing such good work We just built our first raised beds and I
   would love to replicate your chenille system. Please consider making a
   how-to make a chenille video. Your explanation in this video is sufficient
   for me to attempt making one, but I know when things work this well, a lot
   of thought, trials and errors have gone into the work. Fantastic!

7. Hello fellow Colorado Gardener (aka Brave Soul)! Where are you
   specifically? Glad the video offered something you might be able to use –
   the amount of wind you get will determine ultimately how successful the
   system is.

8. I will put that on my to-do list – you are not the first person to ask for
   a little more instruction on building the chenille hoop system. I will try
   to get it posted sooner rather than later. 😉

9. We made a follow-up video to this one called “French Chenille Hoop System”
   that has more detail on how to lace the hoops. Hope it helps! 🙂

10. Hey Mike! All cool season veggies can be extended into November and even
    December. Really hard vegetables, like kale, mache, mizuna, and cabbage can
    go longer. If it is a cloudy winter the lack of sunlight will cause the
    temperature to plummet, so just know that it can get cold enough to kill
    even the really hardy veggies. Check out Four Season Harvest by Elliot
    Coleman for all of the details. And, try a double layer of green house
    glazing plastic with a layer of Remay.
