This is the second instalment in how we build and use tunnels on our farm. The first part presented our first couple tunnel iterations. We also sought inspiration from the construction of the caterpillar tunnels at La Ferme Cooperative Tourne-Sol, which are well documented in a number of blog posts by Daniel Brisebois.
After some preliminary ground prep – we’d disced and rototilled – we squared the site of each tunnel. Caterpillar will close its Toronto plant that makes tunnel -boring machines, throwing 3out of work. Our interactive cat tunnel not only will keep your cat entertained for hours but is also very convenient. Dont worry about your pet. In the spring we built a caterpillar tunnel (read about that here) and it seemed fantastic … until we had a touch of wind (well a big touch).
