Both tunnels are now fully planted up. Both have resident grape vines, the older tunnel is full of tomatoes and the new tunnel, its paths finally laid, is full of tomatoes, sweet peppers, chillies and aubergines.
A must this year is for better planning of the tunnels use over winter and especially very early spring for early salad and new potato crops.
Our first tunnel has raised beds filled with 12 year old manure and compost which holds onto the moisture fabulously, time prevented this from happening with the new tunnel so the crops are planted directly into the ground, albeit with added home made compost. If required the beds can be made into raised beds very easily and filled over the winter.

Hi - really enjoying reading your blog regularly. Everything looks fantastic, especially the tunnels. What are you using as cane toppers in the photo?
