Thanks OldJerry

I hadn't thought of a polytunnel but will do some research now you have suggested this. thanks again

Hi all

New to self-sufficiency and would like to buy a small greenhouse. Does anyone have any advice on the best make and what you think is a reasonable price?

Thanks

Hi all Just joined today. Currently living in West Yorkshire and was going to spend the day in the garden but woke up to an inch of snow and it's still snowing so thought I'd catch up on some reading. I'm in the process of becoming self-sufficient. Last weekend I built my first compost bin, laid the...
