Allotments 4 All

These are 8 feet up!

Just been tidying mine up again, wish I had 8' of room!
::)

Mine have doubled over against the roof and are heading back earthwards :)

Wow Tim i don't know about green fingers you must green hands they put my poor things to shame. :-[

Same here Barnowl.. one black cherry in the polytunnel is at least 8' long...
;D

you have me worried now.

I have to build up a base so that my greenhouse is on a flat peice of ground.

I was going to just put the greenhouse on top and before i put the glass in hammer in some posts so that i can support tomatos on both sides of the greenhouse. I am not sure how i would then sink the level a foot and keep the greenhouse level.

Without a brick/concrete base you can't...
:(

phew, not going mad then  ;D

This is what we did.

Wasn't cheap!

I definatly cant do that were not alowed permiant stuctures on the site.

looks good though.

We have to breath in and duck to get in our GH. Might consider doing that with the one at home .Thats if we get the time over the winter.

Hi
What I did with my small greenhouse was to dig down the path about a foot and shore up the sides with pallet wood. This gives a step down to the path but headroom to work in.

Well worth it.

I'm def going to have to grow compact plants or somehow lean them over like espaliers!

The added height also helps with keeping things cool.

Our home made polytunnels are 9.5 feet high and the added height is so handy

What about Wilko's arches in the polytunnel???

you could do but I have wires going from one end to the other which serve two purposes, one to train my vines along and secondly as cane supports for the tomatoes et al.
