Autumn Polytunnel Changeover – From Summer Crops to Winter Growing

Charles Dowding Short 9 days ago

Description

Incredible changes even as late as October. See how we change over the polytunnel at Homeacres from summer tomatoes and cucumbers to winter salads, leafy greens and garlic, using no dig gardening methods.

1. Summer tomatoes and cucumbers cleared to compost on 9th October.
2. Watering over the subsequent weekend.
3. Planting on 14th October, of module raised plants and also garlic cloves went in.

The new plantings include lettuce, endive, chervil, spinach, mustards, salad rocket, kale and chard, with garlic and spring onions growing alongside.

Since then I've watered three times but will water less going forward. These plants are to crop right through until next spring, and June for the garlic.
