Hello to everyone!

I'm pretty new to gardening but have been given the task at work to
raise about 2000 plants for next summer in a heated poly tunnel.
The site is a coal fired coastal power station on the North-East
coast.
We have a big problem with rabbits so I thought growing something like
pelargoniums or/and Begonia from seed.
Do I stand a chance as a newbie!? I have grown my own plants before at
home in unheated greenhouses,but I've never took on the task on a scale
like this before.I'd be most grateful for any hints tips advice that
anyone can give me.
which pelargonium type *would give the easist/biggest success rate for
plants per seed? how many seeds would I need to raise about 1500-2000
plants?

thanks!
steven.

Are you attempting to do this organically or with chemical inputs?
It's not really very "green" if you're using chemicals to sustain the
plants and promote growth. If you want to do this organically, it is
possible, but you'll need to do a bit of reseach and establish a
program.

Why such small plants? It seems that trees would be more of an off set
against the CO2 that the plant releases or do you have to maintain a
line of sight?

You may want to look at lasagna gardening. If you laid down your
newspapers/cardboard now, where you want the beds to be, add what ever
amendments that you may need like bone meal, covered everything with
mulch, and added seeds for a green fertilizer, your beds should be ready
by May.

Wishing you luck, and hoping you get shut down soon (but not 'till
winter is over).
