Title: Hi from Cheshire
Post by: pointy on July 24, 2010, 02:35:49 pm

Hello all, we're in south Cheshire, only have less than an acre at present keeping chucks for eggs and 2 saddlebacks for meat. Planning on renting 2 to 3 acre field close by and building a polytunnel from scratch in the next 4 to 6 weeks. Love the site good info and you all appear a friendly bunch. John

Pointy, well if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room! Will look out for you flying over us clinging on to a large peice of plastic!

Hello from Aberdeenshire, I originate from Cheshire!

Good Luck with the poly, we put ours up on a calm day (quite rare on our hill) then waited for the wind to see how well we had done!  Its still standing and we've had some gales up here!
