Jim McColl talks Polytunnels and hayfever
By Jim McColl
Polytunnels help extend the growing season at both ends.
Among the requests and comments from newcomers to gardening comes the notion from some of having a greenhouse or equivalent. What’s it to be?
That question could take quite a while to answer, with cost likely to be the limiting factor. The top of the scale (only a dream for most of us) being a glasshouse with an internal division to be able to run two different environments, one heated the other unheated, and fitted with automatic ventilation. With that degree of sophistication, you can go off to work or away for the day knowing that your plants and crops will be growing safely as intended.
