    I decided to build a mini greenhouse around my tomatoe plants to help them ripen…….took me around an hour.

    used some 2x2 and 4mm twin wall polycarb panels

            @jowwy , if you haven't already done it, the top edges of those twinwall polycarbonate panels should not be left open. If you get clear tape (1" inch should be wide enough) and run it across the top edges and fold down boths side, dirt, bugs etc., will not fill the channels.

            You would not believe just how quickly they can become unsightly if left open!
