Mini Greenhouse Tunnel

Description

Mini Greenhouse Tunnels from U-bend are easy to move around the garden and are good to use in all seasons. For instance, in winter and early spring they can be used to protect plants from cold injury and wind; and in summer they can protect plants from birds, insects, and high temperatures. The porous tunnel does allow pollinators to enter.

The U-bend tunnel comes preassembled. All you have to do is remove from the packaging and stretch it like a concertina. Typically, the ends are tied down with stakes and string. There are sliding clips to hold the row cover to the individual bows. At each hoop there are 300mm spikes to keep the tunnel safely on the ground. To access your crops you need only unclip the cover and lift.

Other benefits of Mini Greenhouse Tunnels include:

• give heat-loving vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, melons, and eggplants a good start in spring
• The unsettled temperatures of late spring can damage tender crops and a tunnel is an effective way to capture sunlight and protect them the first few weeks after planting
• extend your harvest into autumn and even winter
• They’re an easy way to get an extra 6 to 8 weeks from crops like arugula, bok choy, parsley, and winter lettuces
• Low tunnels also can be used for protection against frost
• Most cool-season crops need a soil temperature higher than 5 degrees Celcius for seeds to germinate and transplants to thrive. Constructing and using a tunnel in autumn and throughout the winter into the spring creates the soil temperatures needed for production.
• low tunnels can be used to get an early start on spring planting.
• can also be used to get a two-week early start on summer crops, such as peppers, tomatoes or sweet corn.
