A Poly Tunnel is the best addition to any garden, providing early produce like early potatoes and spring onions. Crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and herbs like basil will then be followed by overwintering crops to harvest produce all year round. A tour of the Centre’s tunnels will show various options and give advice on how to erect a tunnel. Learn about ground preparation, growing systems and rotation, propagation and soil fertility management.
The course gives a novice and a basic understanding of what is needed and the benefits versus the setup costs.
