As it was suggested I introduce myself on another thread I got engrossed in, here goes.
I'm in North Pembrokeshire, 600ft up, facing North/North West can see the sea about 10 miles away. Quite new to gardening although farmed for years (odd I know), got a tunnel this year to keep me sane during a layoff from work, loved it and now want to bring a bit of field into shape.
Totally impressed by the tunnel - it's dry! Additionally though, it has been so productive. We joked that if we saved a £ a week it would pay for itself in 10 years. Despite a late start (it was June before it was up), we started saving up to £10/week on veg very quickly and, more importantly, still are. As well, there is veg and fruit in the freezer which has been a big, mostly empty bread store for too long to remember. Not all of this came from the tunnel because once I got started I was sticking veg into any spare bit of ground and picking any fruit I could see.
If I had to choose between my Kindle and my tunnel I'd split in two.
