    Thank you for sharing your plan

    Could I just ask you how big your polytunnel is? I have been tempted for a long time. I have an old plastic greenhouse frame - 4' x 6' and wondered what the most productive use of this would be to start me off
    many thanks

    Hi, Inside of the tunnel I have two outside beds which are 20ft x 3ft and a middle bed 18ft x 3ft and then as the beds meet a one end of the tunnel the paths are only 17ft long so that increases my planting area by another 3ftx 3ft.

    So over all my planting area sq 183ft and for those of you with small veg plots I can get an amazing amount of produce from the beds. Once i got the polytunnel and relaised just how must stuff I could grow from a small area thatnks to the raised beds I decided to turn the rest of the plot over to beds. I'm still amazed at how much more is produced using raised beds.

    I've just ordered a TZ7 panasonic camera which takes great video so I'm thinking about doing a blog so people can see what i'm doing, still unsure if it's a good idea
    Kind Regards
    Maz
