new poly tunnel

(1/2) > >>

ACE:
It came today, will put it up tomorrow. My last one got wrecked last winter. Extra anchors made to fix it in place and still plenty of time to use it this season. I did not replace it straight away because I was not in the right mood what with all the afflictions  I was suffering at the time. Then when I did think about getting a new one the price went through the roof because there was a shortage with suppliers not trading and the ones that were doubled and even trebled the price. Anyway they came down to pre corvid days last week. Cheap at seventy beer tokens and a metre longer than my last one.

Hector:
What are you planning to plant? Glad you got sorted. My tunnel is my wee refuge....never mind for plants. Got an old recliner in there

My 15 x 10 Ft tunnel is anchored on 8 concrete blocks, with 1 metre metal builders 'pins' in each corner, this year keeping it cool has been the big problem , i wont mention the ants ..1st year made lots of mistakes, plants too close, and too little watering.

I think we all do the cramming in too much in the first year! It's an easy mistake to make due to our enthusiam!

Excellent ACE, I have been reducing some old Damson trees behind mine as they are splitting and shedding large branches.. they are at least 60 years old, possibly 100. The self sets I didn't take out are now cropping well so they can go...  It does mean I can get a much bigger polytunnel this year... rather than just replace the cover. That was scandalous profiteering you saw there. It saddens me though when newbies buy cheap ones and they collapse in a light breeze...
