    I have read the book Steve and have refered back to it quite a few times. Quite inspirational. Igot my copy free when I bought my polytunnel.

    I liked th ebookas it is written by two down to earth blokes, not celebrities that have just added thier name to someone elses work. All of the gardening mentioned in the book can be accomplished by anyone. No gimmicks or expensive equipment.

    My opinion is that the book is a very helpful and enjoyable read, plus being a good encouragement to novice growers.

    Chopper.

    Look inside the book


    I thought if I'm to be growing in 3 poly tunnels, I might as well shell out a £11.59 on a book.

    I,ve got both of those books that Steve & Scrungee have & they are both really good & informative I keep going back to them all the time. for me the Polytunnel book by Joyce Russell is the better of the 2 but both good reads

      My husband made me a small set up very similiar to what I am seeing here. We grew our tomatoes in it, but did not grow year round. It works great!
      Cheers!
