Great news for anyone thinking of buying a polytunnel or wondering what to do with the one you have.  Due to demand the Centre will run an extra Introduction to Polytunnel course on November 16 with Craig Sands.  The course will cover a tour of the Centre's many tunnels as well as advice on the most suitable type of tunnel, how to erect it and choice of site.  Also ground preparation, growing systems and rotation, propagation and soil fertility management, pest and disease prevention and control. 

Student comments:

'Thought the day was very useful and I learned a lot'

'Being able to see the various types (of polytunnels) and discuss their merits and drawbacks was most useful'

'Craig was pleasant, very knowledgeable and helpful'
