polytunnel day 4

After a busy day moving soil and a bit of help from Lou, there is now another bed in place and a good amount of soil shifted and we managed to get the other door frame in place. Not as neat as Jeffs work but sturdy enough, I blame the weather conditions, thermal expansion and the way the moon was alligned with jupiter. (not my rushing to get it done attitude!)

Before installing the frame, I installed our 1500 litre water butt that will be placed in the tunnel, giving easy access to water for the plants at the correct temperature and to act as a energy sink, reducing extreme temperatures both hot and cold.

Bottom door frame, water butt in place and some rubble that we dug up

new raised be on right, filled with soil from the mound

hopefully the final tree root removal!
