We decided what to do with the frame of one of those mini plastic
covered polytunnels - have shrunk it to about 4ft high and have put
the shelves elsewhere to use as shelves outside for now. Am thinking
that once the cover has been adjusted we'll have a giant cloche that I
could use for outdoor tomatoes to get them off to a good start - or if
the weather is like this year, leave on!
It was one someone was throwing out after assembling and never using
before it blew over so I got it for nothing. I thnk pegging it down
will be the important thing. Am thinking that I might not cut the
bottom of the cover off but make sure it's used to help keep the thing
on the ground.



The best thing I have done with poly cloches is to bury the edges so the
wind dosn't rip them apart. Works for me.

I'll try that - I will have enough to bury anyway now we've shortened
it.
