Full Version: Fixing The Polytunnel
UK420 > Community Lifestyle > Gardening
Underwater
Found this P-tunnel in a fair old state - thought i'd try to save it as clumps of fern roots are pushing the wood up at one point near the back. Can't stand to leave it! I can't fill it with lovely marihhhhuana but i can fix it up and plant stuff for winter/spring as a gift to the person who is letting me live in their house for free.

anyone know what goes in round about now? In fact ANY HELP!!! is appreciated - how should i divide it up? what should i dig in before planting?

I'll do a bit of hunting around anyway. plenty of work taking out the weeds, the back is raised and needs flattened out too.

Here's the progress - i didn't think to take pics until i'd nearly cleared the front, when i found it the door wouldn't go within two feet of the frame.

Bloody weeds! Mind you i've been so stoned off the thai and charas the weeding itself has been fun. You can do anything if you stop for a cup of tea and a joint every 3.6 minutes.

Onions and garlics can go in now but I grow under plastic and I'm at a similiar latitude to you and I don't reckon much actually grows up here winter... if you are going to repair the holes don't buy the clear tape from dobies... the glue is not UV stable and the tape falls off after a month or 2

I'm a lot further on than these pics.....the door is fixed already!

Hello there billious! I put a whole new piece in the door frame but there are two tears in the sides, thanks for the tips.

Aye onions and garlic it is rofl.gif i'll concentrate on setting it up for next year mainly i think

Anyway it's the best excuse to get wrecked in the daytime and the most fun ive had for a while. (fukin hell getting old)

Nearly done. Just have to tape the holes and get some seeds to leave as a gift.

Getting a 60'x20' tunnel with irrigation when i move in a few weeks. I'll do a set up and plant diary when it happens. Should be a proper diary as it will be a permanent tunnel at one of my main places of residence. Due to the constant moving i now have two main places i stay. It will be heaven to finally settle down next year and focus on indoor & outdoor canna crops and plant a real garden.
