I BEEN thinking about putting up a solid piece of poly in the middle of my curtain line and making two seperate roll up curtains. I need poly in the middle for when i let the curtains down. does that make sense?

I will never use over head drip systems. I dont want my plants to get water on them. That will cause alot of fungus and deseases in a greenhouse if you are not carefull. And I like to make sure my tomatoes dont get wet---could cause them to crack. I water from the soil line only. I very seldomly wet my plants.( produce plants)

Last year i took the poly off the greenhouse cause it was way too hot in there. The curtain was only 2 1/2 feet off the ground and not enough air circulation. As soon as I took the poly off---we got a hell storm. It beat my fruit up. I had holes in everything. Then we had rain storms and rain and more rain. Thats why i think the plants got some kind of desease. Too wetttttt. I should of put a fan between the rolls but I didnt have a fan back then.
Now i only have one fan but working on getting 2 more.
