How effective are my vinyl tunnels for growth of vegetables?
I found out some spinach sprouts germinated outside a vinyl tunnel and we can easily see the difference between the growth of sprouts outside and that of ones inside.
Can you guess which is the sprouts inside the tunnels?
Sprouts inside the tunnels have grown to 10cms high with wide leaves.
Sprouts outside is just 5cms high with thin leaves.
Yes, those vinyl tunnels have certainly made a difference. I have just bought some commerically-made cloches made of plastic, and I now have to assemble them - the pack says "Flat-packed for easy home assembly", so wish me luck!
>Mark Keeping the air warm and moist is important for germination and growth of vegetables, I believe, as well as selecting and buying tools for doing that. I hope your cloches will be effective for the growth of your plants! If it's effective, I would buy it!

Row covers kept my garden warm and protected over the winter. Now I have a great crop of turnips and spinach that over wintered under row covers.
