If you have a problem putting in the glazing clips use a small screwdriver for leverage.:thumb:

Thanks for the info may have to go for the polycarbon.

Visited our " local " garden centre this morning. Paraffin £9.99 a gallon.

Why dont you join your area 'freecycle' you can get Slabs, old sheds, Greenhouses and everything you need from there and it is all free.

Thanks Kirsten that's a good link, with some improvements to the ventillation that could make a substantial polytunnel.

Right, have just uploaded a pic in my Album. I'll have a look for another pic with the soil container installed ....

I reckon you will run it Nov through March and Dec through February will need more than Nov and Mar. You won't need much during the day, most days.Your average of 0.22 kW per hour is pretty low - by comparison with a standard fan heater which has three settings for 1kW, 2kW and 3kW - so I...

Good idea, Pam. Don`t be daunted about erecting it, either.:thumb:

I have two of those Argos-style plastic greenhouses. I paid about 10 quid each for mind, not £40 ....... I use them inside my (cold) conservatory in the spring to start seedlings off. I put a 40W light bulb in the bottom to generate enough heat on frosty nights etc. and zip them up to keep...

Have not posted any photos to of inside my greenhouse.

Wow, it is really the same plant I saw!! It had most definitely a Ruellish look, I should have trusted my first istinct, but the white stripe sidetracked me, thanks for the correction! I saw this plant in the same greenhouse where I took all those butterly pics, it was amazing, lots of very...

I don't know whether the blighters here are more resistant, but its been a bad year here for them.The Encarisa didn't seem to make any impact, and for the non-Organic sprays I have used this year (not on the Encarsia obviously!!) the food crops would have had to be sprayed more times / more...

I had a lot of stuff for my allotment from 'freecycle' saves me paying for slabs and wood.:thumb:

:lollol:

Hi folks. Just to let you know, my toms started ripening around 2 weeks ago but I don't think I'm going to get many. There are plenty of fruits but still looking very green. I'm just looking forward to next year now with regard to the toms. Cheers...freddy.

Thank you for that Kristen, and the inspiring photo, that is a real success and early enough in the growing season to get a continuous crop given a decent summer. I put my failures down to the lack of good sunny days but what I lack in gardening skill is compensated for by unfounded optimism,...

Its not too difficult although it gets expensive for the various bits. You just need to make the pillows as airtight as possible and then keep them inflated at the correct pressure. Sounds easy enough

Excellent job Bob. well done...:thumb: funnily enough I measured my weeny space out of curiosity only this morning. I assmed I had 4ft depth so I was going to go for a 4 x 6 and position it sideways so to speak. I am so glad I didnt order one as the paved area isnt 4ft its only about 3ft 8ins...
