A comprehensive guide to all aspects of polytunnel usage, from planning your purchase to harvesting the rewards.
A polytunnel, high tunnel or hoop house, can be used as an affordable, low-carbon aid to growing your own food all year round, from crispy salads and fresh vegetables in the dead of winter to juicy melons and mouth-watering grapes in high summer. But once you've decided to invest in a polytunnel, there are many questions to be answered...
Do you need planning permission? What are the different sizes and types you can buy? Where should you put it, and how do you put it up? What can you use it for, how do you look after it, and what are the likely problems?
The Polytunnel Handbook looks at all aspects of using a polytunnel, from planning to harvesting. The book features a step-by-step guide detailing how polytunnels are put up and maintained, and also detailed instructions on building a polytunnel from scratch for DIY enthusiasts. There are also 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.
Learn how to keep your polytunnel productive in every season with this brilliant guide

About the Author
Mark Gatter began growing vegetables in the early 1980s. He's a firm advocate of an organic, raised-bed approach and says that even in Northumberland, where he now lives, it's still possible – with a bit of care and effort – to grow food all year round.
