The Polytunnel Handbook
Andy McKee, Mark Gatter
The Polytunnel Handbook looks at all aspects of using a polytunnel, from planning your purchase to harvesting the rewards, and includes a step-by-step guide detailing how polytunnels are put up and maintained. There are chapters on developing healthy soil and preventing pests, and a jargon-free guide to the range of often mystifying accessories that many tunnel retailers offer. For the DIY enthusiast there is a full set of instructions for building a polytunnel from scratch, and the authors explain how to keep your polytunnel productive in every season.
The Authors: Andy McKee first grew vegetables with his father at the age of five. He became interested in the concepts behind non-traditional gardening forms in the early nineties, and had his eyes opened to the potential of polytunnels during a visit to one featuring a hot tub warmed by a clay oven. Using his polytunnel, his family are entirely self-sufficient in vegetables. Mark Gatter began growing vegetables while homesteading in north California in the early eighties, and has been a keen gardener ever since. He relies on a polytunnel to keep fresh food on the table right through the winter. He and his wife share their smallholding in Wales with 11 sheep, several chickens and two dogs.
