Thanks Tim  :)
Have been using a few sheets of laminated white card, and all seems to be well with those  :) Haven't done a comparitive test with foil though  :)

That's always the crunch - none of us do?? And no 2 years are the same.
I've always used card before - because I'm a picture framer!! - but this stuff does seem to be a real improvement.

But against foil? Don't know.

I assume the Mylar is coated or treated in some way as the stuff degrades in sunlight (or so my sailmaker tells me).

[tim]

Oh??

In passing, this is the 'white sheeting'.

Thats a nice looking greenhouse Tim. Is that your setup with the mareial and growbags in place? i'm a bit wary of using a  plastic mulch, will the slugs not lurk underneath?

[tim]

That's most of it - there'll be 20 bags in all.

First lot of cus out the far end today.

Slugs? So long as they lurk underneath, I'm happy! Normally, we only have the wood shavings that you can see, & they don't like those. But they should be easy meat if they stray onto the sheet?
