Hi all, I asked a few questions last year about making a polytunnel after failing dismally to get a cheap 2nd hand greenhouse. So I headed down the DIY route into polytunnel'sville! so how did it turn out? well in a word OK - so here's what I did if its of any use to anyone.... 5 x 8' posts (4 corne...

OK - Evening all - I've heard Ferline and Legend are good Blight resistant varieties for Poly tunnel growing - anyone know of other Blight resistant varieties - especially Cherry or Plum varieties??
Thanks in advance STF

Hi Allium - thanks for your feedback - yep I reckon' Kestrel is a dead cert for this year. I know Compo had great success with Sarpo Mira as Main crop, this amongst eveything elase fallign with Blight! Might be worth a go!?

Any pro's and con's anyone can see? My polytunnel will only have entrance at one end. I propose t...

Evening all!-I'll be taking delivery of my first dollop of manure in a few weeks - I should have finished my winter digging by then!? (Should add newish plot and the first time a lot of the plot has been dug and weeded in a while!) Is it best to spread on top now and rotovate it in the spring or doe...

Thanks Guys - really helpful - i'll post how I get on - along with anything I learn from the experience - aiming for a 12 x 8 timber frame polyhouse for under £100 total outlay. our 2 year old will eat that in Tom's next summer no problem!
