Overview:
Bring the world of polytunnel growing into your garden with this essential two-book bundle. The Polytunnel Book is the definitive month‑by‑month guide to turning a tunnel into a productive, year‑round oasis of fresh fruit and vegetables. Paired with The Polytunnel Handbook, this duo covers planning, erection, maintenance, soil health, pest prevention, and practical know‑how to maximise your harvest. Together, they offer a complete, low‑carbon route to homegrown produce, from crisp winter salads to sun‑kissed melons. Perfect for beginners and experienced plot holders alike, the books demystify the jargon of tunnel accessories and provide clear, step‑by‑step guidance for building, using, and sustaining your polytunnel across seasons. Whether you’re growing for a family, a school garden, or a weekend plot, this paperback set is a compact, trusted resource you’ll reach for again and again. With patient explanations, practical tips, and season-by-season recipes and crop ideas, it’s the reference you’ll want on hand through every harvest.
What Makes This Collection Special:
Two books, one complete system for year-round harvests. The Polytunnel Book shows how to harvest maximum yields with careful planning of sowing times, soil preparation, and climate-smart crop rotation. The Polytunnel Handbook complements this with a practical manual that guides you from selecting a site and planning a tunnel to erecting it safely and maintaining it across the seasons. Together, they offer a coherent reading journey: first you learn the theory of tunnel agriculture, then you gain the hands-on skills to execute and sustain it. The collection suits both the casual tester and the ambitious grower who wants reliable, measurable results. The in-depth projects, checklists, and troubleshooting sections empower you to experiment confidently. This bundle also makes a thoughtful gift for garden lovers, schools, or community groups who are building a productive, sustainable growing space. By owning both titles, you capture the full spectrum: conceptual understanding and practical mastery in one convenient package.

The Polytunnel Book
The Polytunnel Book is the foundational guide for turning a polytunnel into a reliable, productive growing space.

With practical diagrams, equipment checklists, and crop ideas tailored to tunnel conditions, this book turns a vague dream of year‑round harvests into a repeatable, achievable routine.

For DIY enthusiasts, there are scratch‑built instructions and troubleshooting tips that demystify the accessory market.
