Sometime in the next couple of weeks, our new polytunnel from First Tunnels should arrive. We have gone for an 8’x10′ structure which will fit comfortably in our garden without dominating it too much. We hope to use it as a space for getting plants started, as a home for more sensitive specimens (like aubergines) and to extend our growing season.
It is going to be much less expensive than a greenhouse and (hopefully) easier to construct, as well as easier to move if we decide to reconfigure things in future.
