What a wonderful way to surround a veggie plot. <br><br>I'm thinking of covering my whole veggie plot with plastic and a good layer of manure next winter - that's depending on the cost of the plastic. I know it doesn't look very pretty but it must help keep the weeds down and warm up the soil. <br><br>Well, on the spur of the moment today I bought a polytunnel! It's only 3M by 3m so shouldn't take too much work to get it ready for planting.mangetoutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962251726150270584.post-9711651348052166872015-03-03T20:50:30.000+00:002015-03-03T20:50:30.000+00:00!70 hedge plants - that's quite an achievement...!70 hedge plants - that's quite an achievement! Even thinking of that makes my back ache...

I'm ...I like the sound of the small polytunnel. I'm waiting for a small second-hand greenhouse to come up. The extra space will be so useful. We had some plastic down over unused beds and veg plot areas as the weeds grow throughout the winter here. I'd probably go for weed-proof matting rather than plastic since the water can drain freely through that. We have both and the cost is about the same if I remember correctly.fettlersonlandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962251726150270584.post-8115501827627123512015-03-04T08:59:21.000+00:002015-03-04T08:59:21.000+00:00I have to admit that Jim did most of the hard work...I have to admit that Jim did most of the hard work! Yes, hopefully the birds will be feeding from our hedge rather than from our soft fruit.fettlersonlandnoreply@blogger.com
