A polytunnel is a fantastic addition to any garden, it extends the season for many crops, provides something to harvest all year round, and can be used for tender vegetable crops (tomatoes, cucumbers), cut herbs (basil) and early season fruits. A tour of the Centre’s many tunnels will show various sizes and give advice on how to erect a tunnel. We will also cover
ground preparation, growing systems and rotation, propagation and soil fertility management, pest and disease prevention and control.
