Your polytunnel is HUGE .. I am dead jealous !
'cracked, have you considered locking the camera onto a tripod for general views, and then editing in the close-ups and "action" sequences ? It can be a bit bewildering keeping up with all the sweeping camera movement ? Mind you... that would mean using an external editing tool, which I know is time-consuming.

What do you mean by a "tab" ?
Oh wait... a tablet ? Ah... yes... they don't have tripod sockets, do they ?

Love the tables thecrackedpotgardener & Annie the dog, sorry to hear about the cat. Good tip about the bottle tops for canes too. I still think I would put at least 2 or 3 carrot seeds in each bottle if I were you because you probably won't get very high germination with your seeds being old, I sowed some which were about 3 years old last year & got about 50% germination in an outdoor veg trough. Like the challenge for Roofy!  |

Hee hee hee... I liked the "Grim Reaper" video.
I might be tempted to grow one of those thermonuclear chilli plants myself, just as a novelty.

thecrackedpotgardener that seems similar to roofgardener's polytunnel & his actually took off from his roof garden last year & ended up on the ground nearby! I think you will find problems with the cover as well after a season or two of sun & rain, I had the same kind of cover on a mini greenhouse & the plastic starts to drop out between the green 'string' squares so that you end up with hundreds of tiny holes everywhere. As you say it's probably false economy in the end.

@thecrackedpotgardener manufacturer claims it wouldn't rust etc - if it were mine, I would take photos, then phone them and offer to send the photos as proof by email - its your right as to do so as its not what they claim! - I'm not one to complain very much I'm usually easily pleased, but, I wouldn't let them away with that no matter how much it cost  |

Indeed daisy. The only drawback is that - even if they offered a replacement - thecrackedpotgardener would have to re-pack the polytunnel up, and ship it back to them. And THEN re-assemble the replacement. I'm sorry to hear you've had these dissapointments, thecrackedpotgardener. Some of your points ring bells with my own smaller 'tunnel; in particular the velcro ties. (but then, I suspect the floor wasn't level and the 'tunnel was twisted, resulting in the cover not fitting properly... ). My 'tunnel flexes just like yours does; however, I think this is a benefit, as it helps the unit withstand storms ? It isn't drafty, but then it has a basic zip-up door, rather than the more sophisticated hinged variety. The zip-up doors can introduce problems of their own. Have you considered some plastic sheeting - or even a cheapo tarpaulin from Wilko's - to act as a draft curtain ? |

Compensation as a good will gesture could be offered instead of new greenhouse @thecrackedpotgardener I don't know why I can't get your name to highlight |
