    I hope I have posted this in the right place. I am still struggling with the new layout. (Its my fault, me and computers do not mix very well):scratch::scratch::scratch:

    I know there is a forum for Greenhouse Gardening, but there seems to me to be very little about polytunnel growing. Is the lack of such a forum due to lack of interest in tunnels or am I just looking in the wrong places? As I have recently bought a large polytunnel I am clearly biased towards them. I love mine and am very excited about my first growing season in it.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

    Thankyou.

    Chopper.

    There's nothing for it Chopper ... you'll just have to upgrade to a Glasshouse!

    I reckon the term Greenhouse covers both Glass and Poly ...

    That forum is here:

    http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/Forum-Greenhouse-Gardening.html

    Although I doubt it matters overly as Polytunnrel is frequently discussed in Edible Gardening, Greenhouse Gardening, General Gardening Discussion and even in Members Gallery

    :thumbsup: Chopper I know you have your poly tunnel & a few other members have them too.... How about....

    To start with anyway we will put a sticky thread in "Greenhouse Gardening" & if it turns into a busy thread we can create a forum then..!! Does that sound reasonable..??? Cheers Marley..:thumbsup:

    Might I make a suggestion that...

    Greenhouse Gardening
    Discussions Regarding Greenhouse Growing

    be changed to...

    Growing Under Cover
    Discussions Regarding Greenhouse and Polytunnel Growing

    Then no new fora need be added and its all kept in one relevant place, where members can start their own topics subject related to their situation, in an area where similarities can co-exist.

    Steve...:)
