  • Polytunnel advice please

    What do the forum think about my desire for a small polytunnel please. I currently have three 15x10 ft veggie plots. I also have a 8x10 dedicated fruit patch, a 6x6ft G/house, 4x3 C/frame, composting area, and an area where I put potted stuff like spuds etc. I am considering using one of my 3 15x10s for a polytunnel, leaving me two which I would split to do a 4 year rota rather than the 3 i do now. Do folk think this is silly in a smallish garden?

      I Agree with Nicos ... According to the Bernard Salt book spring is 2 months early and winter 2 month later (or there abouts) and we can all do with an extra 4 months growing Plus is gives you somewhere to work when it rains

          It depends on what you want to do with it. Mine is 10'x25' and is used as a giant cold frame/storage shed/cold greenhouse. The only soil in it is what is in the pots on the staging and the bags of compost below the staging.

          If it ain't broke, don't fix it and if you ain't going to eat it, don't kill it

            Another question please. What material is best to put around inside of tunnel to contain soil? I will be planting direct into soil. I thought of scaffold boards or something like that.
