Attempting to heat a polytunnel + an Autumn garden

Online Homesteading Bundle for 2024
I don’t normally buy online courses or ebooks but I jumped in with this one and it looks like it’s going to be a cracker. I saw the video Charles Dowding did about it. I follow him on YouTube and when I heard about how many people are offering ebooks and courses, especially Charles himself,…

Polytunnel replacement!
In my last post I explained how I had finally decided to replace my diy polytunnel with a bought one. Before I show you how the job went over the weekend, I would like to point out that while the rest of the country was basking in sunshine, we were once again, stuck under a…

When something just isn’t working…
I tried, I really tried but it wasn’t working for me and so it has to go. The decision has been made. What am I talking about? The DIY polytunnel I made earlier in the year – it’s time to say bye bye. I wanted to see if I could make a polytunnel out of…

Looking for colour among lots of grey!
The amount of cloud and rain we’ve had over the last couple of days has been less than inspiring if I’m being honest but I did my best to find some colour in the garden just to prove there actually is some. I have to say it was pouring rain when I took all those…
