Just a quick update on the “Fleece & Floating” post of last month…..
A photograph was promised.
Haygrove Solo Tunnels protecting an early Elsanta strawberry crop (Ledbury, England)
These tunnels have been fitted with polythene that is sufficiently wide to provide a continuous seal along the sides of the tunnel (film and soil in continuous contact).
Solo tunnels: Good seal between polythene film and soil at sides of the tunnel.
The grower has also chosen to fit Haygrove Streamline doors. These doors are also in use on a nearby green asparagus for for the same reason: Excellent sealing of warm air inside the tunnels and resistance to wind.
Growers using these doors have less to worry about during windy weather. In fact the doors allow the crop to remain oblivious to whatever horrible English (or Scandinavian for that matter) weather is happening outside!
