I love growing things in the garden and really enjoyed helping with gardening club at my children’s school last year. The school garden had raised beds and we couldn’t believe how well everything grew. We had bumper crops of peas, sweetcorn and more carrots than we could count. Unfortunately, I’ve not been very successful growing plants at home as we seem to attract a lot of slugs. One year we tried to deter them with a tub of beer, you wouldn’t believe the number of slugs that ended up in the beer tub, but I felt like the beer was attracting them rather than deterring. At school we had less issues as the raised beds were set on stones which the slugs didn’t seem to like sliding over and copper tape worked well on the outer beds.
Another way to protect your precious plants from small animals and cold weather is to use a polytunnel!
Polytunnels are fantastic for extending the growing season whether you’re growing fruit and vegetables just for you, in a school or even commercially.
