Blowaway inside a cold conservatory or greenhouse with a lightbulb in the bottom (for heat), or a Tee-light on cold nights, will be better than just the greenhouse itself Trouble is C1 that you are all LED now, and as you know they won't give you any waste heat at all! Large containers (5L...

Many thanks everyone. I've just been browsing a catalogue from one of the DIY stores and have found that I can get 450x450x32 mm slabs for �£1.96 each which is a lot less expensive than I thought. It compares quite well with the cost of edging + membrane + 3 or 4 bags of bark. It should also...

If it's new I just wonder if it's across the path that a fox has been using for a long time.

That is great, thanks. Either you are feeding an army or else you are awfully fond of brassicas!

I've seen pictures of an almost identical design, but covered with plastic and used a a cloche within polytunnels (was thinking about making some for putting over hotbeds), but it didn't click that the same design would also work with mesh. I've got my eye on a great roll of that pipe in a...

Q How many people does it take to put a cover on a polytunnel if failure is not at option?A Only one three attempts to get it over the frame though.Well here is an update on the progress :- After managing to complete the project on Friday whilst the wind was at a minimum ( the day...

ps. If you get caught out it is possible to get retrospective PP.

Thanks Steve
