Post polytunnel crop rotation
Made the decision, poly tunnel coming next week. Will fill one of my 3 veggie patches, leaving 2 to split to give me a 4 year crop rotation rather than the 3 I do now. My question is however, what advice can anyone give about rotation in the tunnel? its a 15x10 that I will path down the middle. Thanks, Paul

hi Brooklynodog
its not been too bad here , went out after tea and put the plastic sheet back on a couple of the empty beds. a friend down in town (somerton)has lost a couple of fence panels and posts. but i dont think the winds been any worse than we often get, last year a neighbour had a couple of mature trees blown over but none gone this time.

I am in Taunton, its been quite bad as we are relatively closer to the coast.
Back to my thread, I am eagerly awaiting Bernard Salts book to aid me.
