windbreak

[Louise]

I start loads of veg in cells in my propagator/polytunnel, but had a real problem hardening them off last year as we had a north wind for weeks.I am thinking of making some kind of mini tunnel with windbreak netting this year and would welcome any suggestions on type of material etc. MAny thanks

Check out any local building work and ask them if they have any scaffolding net they no longer require. Often they will let you have it for free, and it is great for windbreak netting, shading plants and to keep butterflies off your cabbages!
