Default Algae on polytunnel


"Nick Maclaren" wrote in message

I have this problem. I tried scrubbing with a broom, but I need to
get a lot of water on and the algae were pretty adhesive. Is there
a way of loosening them without damaging the polythene? I am inclined
to try dilute bleach.

Nick Maclaren,


That's what we use, extended kitchen floor mop for the sides and a bit of
string over the tunnel with an old towel in the middle for the top (does
require cooperative wife!)
