Title: Norfolk boy signing in
Post by: steveredd on April 17, 2009, 11:12:25 am

Hi, I found the forum whilst googling....don't we all !

We have been growing stuff for years, but have recently rented about an acre to expand our operations, I have recently bought a Howard Gem and a Trusty walkbehind with the  JAP engine and it was this that brought me here, I just found a question that I am off to answer

Expanding your veg plot by an acre sounds like very hard work.  Welcome :pig:

Polytunnel is one of my many wants.  One day when the pigs cost less and earn us more. :pig:

Hi from me too, I have a polytunnel and get lots of use from it all year long.

Luckily I inherited it when I bought the house, they are very expensive here in France.

here's a tip...if you order poythene for tunnels from LBS then don't pay for next day delivery as ours took over a week and they have refused to refund the overnight charge of £15.... and we have missed an ideal day to do it because of that .....now it's been too windy, which  is frustrating to say the least
