Q&A

What was the reason for saving the discarded table?

The reason was that the palanker had decided to put a barbecue on top of it, and it only needed a new top to be good to go for summer.

Why do you need to wear gloves during your tasks?

Gloves are needed to keep hands warm on a day that might seem nice but is actually cold, and to keep hands dry and protected from manure and other substances while working.

What should you do to ensure the greenhouse windows open automatically?

You should make sure that you've screwed the automatic window opener back in place so the wax can open up the window if it gets too hot.

Why did the compost Bays need to be moved?

The compost Bays had to be moved because manure was dropped off nearby, and it was more logical to bring it in, dump it there, and later use it when building beds in the polytunnel.

How did you handle the manure excess?

The excess manure was spread over the raspberry canes, and the remainder will be covered with tarp and eventually go into raised beds in the polytunnel.

What is the benefit of putting wood ash on raspberries or fruit bushes?

Wood ash is really good for adding calcium to plants and is beneficial for raspberries and similar fruit bushes.

What are the future plans for the polytunnel space?

The future plans include having three-foot-wide beds on either side, staging on both sides, a path all around, and a small raised bed in the middle for taller crops like cucumbers or peas. Additional supports will be installed before the new polytunnel cover is applied to facilitate easier hanging of tomato plants and other crops.
