GROWING YOUR OWN WITH CLOCHES, COLD FRAMES and POLY TUNNELS
Cloches,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Poly Tunnels and Cold Frames are all relatively inexpensive ways of protecting plants that are vulnerable to harsh weather. They are great for first time growers or those on a budget as they can be moved easily to protect other plants around the Garden.
USING COLD FRAMES
A cold frame is an ideal place to grow plants seedlings from seedlings and cuttings in a protected environment. They can also be used for protecting plants during the winter and hardening off young plants before they are put in your garden.
Cold frames are usually manufactured in metal or wood and come with either polycarbonate or toughened glass lids. If you choose a lightweight metal cold frame it is important that you anchor it into the ground.
The Metal Cold frames are great as they can usually be manoeuvred around the garden. The heavier wooden cold frames are best positioned on a hard surface, these are often very attractive pieces of kit and will look great in your garden as well as being practical,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
CLOCHES & POLYTUNNELS
Garden Cloches and polytunnels are a useful aid whatever your garden size or shape. They can be used to protect from frost, cold, excess water and to help crops ripen earlier. Cloches use to be made of glass but these days most are constructed using plastic such as polycarbonate.
If you are looking to protect a single plant Victorian Bell Jars are becoming increasingly popular. These are small glass or plastic covers that fit neatly over the plant they protect. These are available in different sizes and they look great too!
If you are growing crops over a larger area a polytunnel is a great way to protect your crops. These tent like structures provide protection to lengths of your garden and are a great way to protect seeds. The polytunnel ranges available are easy to use and great value. They also provide a range of different coverings for polytunnels designed to help keep out unwanted pests and provide shade during the summer months.
