Successful Bloom Show
Really enjoyed the Bloom Show. Apart from the great reaction to the Glasshouses and Polytunnels we had on display on our stand, the award winning Growhouse (Western Red Cedar Glasshouse) which we built in an award winning Garden generated a huge amount of enquiries. It was also wonderful to meet so many of our customers who stopped in to say hello. I find it is a very well run show with good facilities which helps to make attending and visiting a pleasurable experience. So put the date in your diary for next year everyone!

Cleaning your Polytunnel
Polytunnel’s should be cleaned at least once a year, maybe more if your Polytunnel is nearer trees as it will probably have algae forming on the outside and debris from the trees falling onto it. There are different ways in which to clean your tunnel. Here are a few helpful tips :-
If you get a bucket of warm water and add a small drop of washing up liquid, you will then be able to use a soft brush to clean the tunnel, for the bits you cannot reach get an old bed sheet and with a person each side of the tunnel gently go along the tunnel. Be careful not to do anything that will scratch the cover as this will reduce the light transparency.
Frost Protection
If you have plants inside your Polytunnel or Glasshouse in the winter months there are accessories available to help keep the cold at bay and protect from frost damage. The crop protection fleece will work as a duvet for plants and we have a range of thermostatically controlled heaters that can be used. The heaters will have the advantage of making snow melt before it can build up, helping to protect your Greenhouse or Polytunnel against structural damage.
On milder days it would do no harm to open the doors for a few hours to ventilate your Polytunnel . Frost occurs when air stands still. In Q gardens last year the plants inside unheated Polytunnels with open doors were affected less by frost than in the unheated Polytunnels with closed doors.
Snow on Polytunnels
Weather conditions over the winter period can vary from mild to extremely cold. If we are fortunate enough we may get a White Christmas it would be very wise to clear the snow from your Polytunnel or Glasshouse. Snow is very heavy and can cause structural damage if it builds up. You can remove it using a soft brush, a bed sheet or a rope (but if using a rope on a Polytunnel do be careful not to scratch your polythene as this reduces light transmission).
Many of our competitors Polytunnels were damaged by snow last year, luckily very few of our customers had any issues. Crop support bars are particularly helpful in Polytunnels to strengthen and protect against snow damage. A frost protection heater (which we supply a range of) can have the advantage of making snow melt before it can build up, helping to protect your Polydome Greenhouse or Polytunnel against structural damage.
The Perfect Gift
Its that time of year again, if your anything like me, then its safe to say that you have at least, another 4 days before you even consider starting the christmas shop. However if you are planning ahead, why not cosider one of our Christmas gift cards as an option. It can used on Accessories, Polytunnels, Glasshouses or any stock item. Gift cards are valued for 12 months.
So why not put the spring in someone step this christmas and give them a Polydome Greenhouse Giftcard.
Livestock Tunnels and More.
Gone are the days when people only associate polytunnels with gardening. They now have many more benefits and uses. For example in the agricultural setting, as livestock tunnels, or the landscaping sector as canopies for cover machinery or to during outdoor events in bad weather.
As tunnels are very versatile and quick to construct, It makes them the perfect option. The added extra is there are relatively cost effective in comparison to more permanent structures. The unique climate of a tunnel also has many benefits, bright, warm and with lots of room to move around. With some tunnels up to 9m in width, this give lots of options to set the inside of a tunnel up in many different fashions.
So the next time you wish to cover something, be it sheep, cows, chickens, machinery or even just the clothes line, then why not consider a tunnel.
Please call us we would be happy to offer any advised we would have.
Wind and Greenhouses
I just heard that it has been the windiest May on record since they started taking records. And even yet as i look out my office window i can see that the weather still has not really settled as much as one would expect for this time of year.
Never the less, listening to the weather forecast this morning it appears that things might be looking up coming into next week.
So why do i need to worry about my greenhouse if its windy outside. Well hear is a prime example.
I’ve Seen Better Days
Before looking into getting a greenhouse remember to think carefully about its location, its use, and its strength. If you take glasshouses as an example to highlight the importance of this. Say a 6′ x 8′ aluminium finish with horticultural glass. It may cost between €500 and €650 depending on the brand. Sounds like a bargin, but normally glasshouses in this price range are designed for very sheltered gardens. If its located in a windy garden, then it may end up like the glasshouse in the photo. Although it was a cheap buy, its an expensive loss.
So shop around, view the products where possible and remember a cheap bargain is not always the best buy.
Carrot Fly
The carrot fly is a pest for all gardens, and mainly affects carrots, but can also attack parsnips, parsley and celery. Around early may the flies lay their eggs around the developing carrots; the larvae, once hatched, burrow into the root.
The Carrot Fly
To help prevent against the carrot fly one can erect a barrier around the crop at least 60cm high, as female carrot flies are very low flying this will prevent them from landing on the carrots and laying eggs.
Alternatively horticultural fleece or crop protection fleece may be used as a floating mulch to cover the crop. We have different type of fleece at our base in birr and can send it via post or courier if people require it. You can view more details about it on our website.
