    Hi everyone,

    My name is Aidan and im from Co Tyrone. I have recently purchased a polytunnel from Feelgood uk (SP6) and im in the process of putting it together! :smile:
    Im inspired very much by Webmaster's polytunnel numbers 2 and 3 and im going to copy the design, I think its brilliant and found it just in time! Steve R ideas are also very much appreciated!:ThankYou:

    Anyway, im fairly new to gardening, and I want to grow my own vegetables in the tunnel, so im looking forward to getting some hints and tips etc.
    Im also inspired by Permaculture ideas and "no dig" technique to prepare raised beds.
    I know I have a lot to learn about this.

    Thanks
    Aidan:)

      Welcome to the forum!

      Lots of us have hobby greenhouses too which would be similar to polytunnel gardening. You'll really enjoy this knowledgeable and fun group!

      Welcome to GC!
      I don't grow in raised beds or poly tunnels sorry to say BUT I did read a book by Charles Dowding called Veg journal and he used the no dig method and also compared different crops harvest in a no dig vs. dug out raised bed and he found very little difference. Worth a read :blue thumb:
