A lot of work to do.......

Trying to resist the urge to put my name on the allotment list... This all looks great

 

Go on. You know you want to!

 

I do, I really do! Just need to borrow some time from someone...

 

Here you are


I just laze around all day so you can have mine.

 

So Yesterday, I did a little bit more to Tunnel #2.

Using 2 of the off-cuts of scaffold board, I created 2 nice sized shelves which form part of the door end structure :-





I then thought that I would apply the anti hot spot tape :-





And then as time was going so well, thought ...... 'Let's put the cover on!'






At this point, my phone battery got so low, it would not allow me to use the camera function :(

I am over the moon with the height inside, I have around 3" of space between the top of my head and the where the bolts stick through.

I now need to clad the outside of the scaffold boards so that there is no gap between them and the ground, and then line the floor with weed control fabric. Hopefully, this will be done today

 

Just to add, I need to cut out the scaffold board/metal tube at the bottom of the doorway in this pic, so that there is no huge step into or out of the tunnel.

 

Took some photo's of the outside of the tunnel today, as my battery had run too low yesterday







And this is the proposed layout for my 2015 Chilli Grow Season, each growbag tray will have 3 pots...... Or at least that is the plan

 

No Craig, as the pots will be sat in the Grow bag trays which will have nutrient enriched water in at all times, so they will draw up into the pot what they need. I will also be top dressing each pot with clay pebbles to reduce the soil surface from drying out. the plants I grew this way last year did really well.

 

This is the same size as my other a 6m x 3m x 2mHeight, though with the scaffold board, it makes it a brilliant height inside.

I still have another to get up .... Hopefully that will be quicker now I know what I need to do.

 

So, I fixed some deck boards around the perimeter of tunnel #2 today to stop airflow underneath.

And decided to put up the frame of Tunnel #3



And started digging holes





3 Tunnels in one pic :-



And I put my first plants into tunnel #2 today :-



Those plants are the Carolina Reapers, the world's hottest chilli !
