              No manufacturers name on it.

              Measures 8' x 6'

              Probably have to grow things in pots for the first season, just been digging the bindweed & couch grass roots out.

              Will use Clueless1's patent bindweed destruction method, its the only way to be sure.:dbgrtmb:

              Nice & warm in there, 22c this afternoon:thumbsup:

              Fresh Orse poo if I can get it again.

              Blimey I change my mind quickly, just lobbed a few things in & will tackle the bindweed as and when.

              Just remembered how quick the weather changed last year so got some psb, spinage, land cress & mustard in there.

              I intend using the hot bed method of heating in poly tunnels next spring, but with them raised above the intervening beds so they will benefit from their warmth.

              I've found bindweed really suffers once covered by a greenhouse or polytunnel and doesn't take much further effort to weaken/destroy it.
