With this tunnel only being finished in April and pretty much being planted up with peppers and tomatoes immediately, there was no time to build or indeed fill raised beds like in our other tunnel.However, with the tunnel being kept empty, it was an ideal time to build the beds and these can now be filled with allotment compost and my vintage 12 year old manure over the rest of the winter. This tunnel is going to be planted exclusively with tomatoes this year to allow for some form of rotation and being gross fedders, the manure will get them off to a flying start and also hold onto water well.

I envy you your polytunnel ! I wish I had the space for one. Surprised it is empty over the Winter though, look forward to hearing about your efforts. Have you anything exotic planned?
Ah but matron I have two tunnels and one is full of bits and bobs, but this one was emptied of the last peppers this week to allow the building of the beds. I now need to fill them up before the end of April.
