I took the plunge today and ordered a new Poly Tunnel for added space for over Wintering my trees. This year I hope to have everything tucked away somewhere. This is what should be delivered next Tuesday.
It’s the slightly stronger version with heavier frame. I rang the company to order it and told them I had seen the same one on ebay cheaper. Turns out that the ebay site is theirs as well. He gave it to me for the cheaper ebay price but, as usual, living in Northern Ireland, even though we are still part of the UK, I had to pay an extra £10 postage [grumble grumble, pet hate] That said, all in, postage and all, it only cost me £82.
One of my benches is on it’s last legs and will be taken apart this weekend to make room of its arrival. Anybody free on Wednesday to help me put it up? No harm in asking 😀
looks good , be a great addition to the garden for oyur trees,

I woudn’t have minded giving you a hand mate, as I’m contemplating one myself and it would be good to see it being constructed. Last winter, my material mostly survived because I put it in the boot of the car on the really bad days/nights! Anyway, I’m hoping to move house soon so I suppose it would be wiser to wait. I’m off work for half term now – a chance to catch up photographing my own Autumn colours and do some potting up. If I’m moving house, I’ve gotta take all my ‘field grown’ material with me! Going to Dublin Mon-Wed but may be free on Thursday if that helps 😉

As a relative newcomer to the bonsai world, I must admit a better description for the material I own (quantity and quality) would be LAME and not mame =)
