Do you think this is something worth building? I was thinking for a nice chicken coop. With some wood panels for winter, white plastic and netting.
Michael A Weinkoetz wrote:Wow I am late to this party. I see this post is 5years old already. I been kicking this dome tunnel by Paul around myself for a bit. This is the first and only post that I seen this tunnel built. Wonderful job!! How is it holding up with all the snow in MN? I am over in Wisconsin. If you have time I would like to start this post back up. I have lots of questions and I also noticed the same from Paul. He will send you the plans but haven't answered any questions.

Yes I am referring to the dacha, and no I don't remember the source of the 80% figure as I had learned and researched it several years ago back in 2010. In a quick search I found more than 50% of total agriculture comes from the dacha from a 2004 source, but that does not count in that much of that total agriculture is produced for export not domestic use. But certain dacha crops are in the 80-90% of domestic supply.
