So the
weather was a little misleading this morning and now it is pouring down! Not
such a bad thing, as it has meant that I have been able to sew my very own home-made
polytunnel for my Yates Eggplant ‘Blacknite’ and Yates Capsicum
‘Giant Bell’.
I used the
following materials:
- bamboo
stakes
- old
20mm irrigation tubing
- an old
plastic matress cover
- nylon
cord
And this is
how to make it:
- Space 6
bamboo stakes and poke them down into the ground.
- Sew
three sleeves and thread the irrigation tube through.
- Sew two
seams at each end and thread the nylon cord through.
- Bend
the irrigation tube and slide it over the top of each of the bamboo
stakes.
- Pull the
nylon cord at each end like a drawstring, and tie it off.
And voilà:
your very own polytunnel. I’m going to pop some seedlings in trays under here
for the moment, but will plant out my eggplants and capsicums
when they’re a bit bigger!
