Growing under glass or plastic is extremely useful in our climate. It allows you to harvest crops earlier and more reliably and to grow tender plants that would not thrive outside. GET READY NOW FOR 2012. The programme for the day includes:

  • What to look for when buying a new or second hand polytunnel or glasshouse
  • Planning what crops to grow and when
  • Irrigation and ventilation
  • Managing the soil
  • Sowing seeds
