Start a new Allotment Plot | Part 5 | Allotment Garden | Crop Protection | Green Side Up
This one is all about protecting your early season seedlings and plants both from the weather and from pests.
Giving yourself the best start by protecting seedlings and plants can give you the best start to your season possible, I take you through what I use now and what I used to use right at the very start. I use a combination of what I call my "Hot Boxes" inside and outside as needed and I might throw some fleece over them too, this way I can gradually harden off plants and get them used to being outside, before planting them.
I also show you a couple of cheap ideas for started cold frames and advise what to sow first in them.
