I have just come in from my greenhouse muttering about the fact that

planning to move to Scotland my husband suggests that I go for a

some opinions from the group :-)

We have a suburban backgarden and so space is limited and we have a
12x8 foot greenhouse which I think is better for confined spaces but
is more expensive. If I had a big country patch, I would prefer a
polytunnel and would prefer to have a whopping big one as I think it
would be much cheaper that way (big poly tunnel much cheaper than huge
greenhouse).


I will never get used to polytunnels.

I think if nobody else can see it then it's up to you, but it wrecks a view
IMHO.
