Title: How to build a polytunnel?
Post by: boosmummy on August 02, 2011, 17:17
im talking a small scale one though, not big enough to walk into but to be able to put over the plants and give protection, ive seen them down on the allotments, and they look like they're built out of bent garden hose and plastic covered the top, would this be right? xx

You don't have to make the wooden frame at the bottom. If you poke some bits of cane into the ground you can put the hoops over that and just weith the poly down with stones or poly milkbottles full of water.
