Before I buy this book.... Is there a difference between growing veg in a polytunnel or in a greenhouse. The Polytunnel Book - Joyce Russell Books

I have two greenhouses and would like to keep growing during the colder months, but somebody told me that you can't grow the same things in a greenhouse, as you do in a polytunnel.

best regards,

Hi MariejeanneIt is the exact same principals for growing in a tunnel as a Greenhouse. The only difference is that in very long Polytunnels the temperatures in the centre can get very high so ventilation on each end is very important whereas is a Greenhouse ventilation tends to be from the roof and door on one end. Other than that the same crops and principals applyNiallQuickcrop
