[Straight Shooter]

At the end of last year with all the messing about , I stacked out the one poly tunnel with straw bales I had left over , enough to run around the whole of the poly tunnel plus I split some bales to cover the floor , I am over wintering stuff in there , after the snow last night I was looking out my window ….there was something odd …...but I did not click for a bit....then the obvious ……...there are two poly tunnels close to one another ….one with snow on top and one without ! now when I stacked out the straw bales I did think doing so would add more protection from cold winter weather and sure enough the bales are retaining heat from sunlight , the floor is covered with plants of all types , plus the tops of all bales have plants sat on top …...so its doing a great job , the other tunnel is for seedlings and potting on …..the heating for this is supplied by a fan heater (not at this moment) but propagators are both on (15 volt x 2 ) and working a treat ….going to try some containers in that bigger poly tunnel …..Turnips , carrots, and some potatoes …..see how they get on and not waste the warmth being generated …...not much to loose .
