More Control
A polytunnel allows you the grower to garden anytime, even in those dark winter evenings.
A polytunnel provides better weather protection because of the much reduced risk of rain, hail, frost and snow.
It is possible to grow crops that you are unable to grow in your open ground.
Plants can more easily survive low temperatures as energy is trapped inside and absorbed.
The season is typically extended by two to three weeks depending on the crop and the season.
The soil and air inside is sufficient to support more crop growth.
There is better biological control specifically for moisture related diseases such as botrytis. A better environment is created.
Pests are easier to control.
Polytunnels are suitable for growing:
- All spring, summer and autumn bedding plants and basket annual plants
- Spring and summer vegetables
- Sun loving and variegated nursery stock plants
- Strawberry plants
- All organically grown crops
- All crops where the polytunnel is to be heated
- Over wintered vegetable produce including lettuce, peppers, courgette
Polytunnels are also used for :
- Animal housing
sheep, goats, guinea pigs, rabbits - Leisure vehicles
boats, caravans, motor caravans - Bird shelters
parrots, chickens, ducks - Sundries
garden machinery, building materials, swimming pool covers.
