1st outdoor polytunnel

[buddybill]

Hey folks
Been on a mad one the last couple week sorting out my Allotment space mostly clearing the ground of the overgrowth and derooting the soil.
Can finally slap down a polytunnel for this year while I carry on with over jobs.
Bought some tomatoe strawberry and broccoli plants from the store but I really wanna get some chilli plants on the go saw a decent seed kit on amazon for £22.
I've got 3 haze seedlings from some bag seeds on the go but I'm gonna be doing some autos in fabric pots with plagron all mix soil + compost teas with seaweed extract and some flower nutes on hand if needed(Canna flores).
Doing abit of a nettle brew aswell.

got a pack of mephistos 505 headbanger
And 2 freebies of sour livers X livers bx
Popped 2 505 head bangers for now

Obviously the store bought plants had gnats but plants look okay thankfully spiders like greenhouses and I'm finding carnivorous bugs in my soil while I'm digging so I'm hoping I can balance out bug problems as well as getting myself some neem oil.

I'll grab a few pics tomorrow

Congrats on the polytunnel! Welcome to chuckers.

A bunch of people are taking a break from posting their grows lately.(Myself included) It's nice to have a new member. Lot's of great growers and people on Chuckers. Some are still lurking. It's nice to have you join.

Hopefully more people will start coming out this season and posting more. In the meantime, lots of great stuff posted on this website. If you're having plant problems or pest issues, try out the search function (In case nobody responds to a question).

Look forward to seeing how your season goes.


Cheers

Should be a good Brew. Are you going to put an air stone in it once it cools? Seaweed extract is some great stuff.

Yeah an airstone would be ideal I used one for my indoor grows only issue is I've no electric on site at the moment but I'm getting a generator once I've fixed up the cabin abit for the summer.
Currently whisking it up everyday to try and stop it going bad.

Please forgive me. I'm high as shit smoking bong rips and was poking around lol. I know you said you had no electricity but maybe you could charge this in your car or something. A little spendy though.

Stirring it once or twice a day is a genius way to get oxygen or maybe dumping it bucket to bucket. I like your style haha
