We replaced our old polytunnel with a passive solar greenhouse and then spent the first growing season monitoring how the new conditions impacted on plants and crops. Our organic garden is on a steep hillside in the Upper Severn Valley near Llanidloes in Mid Wales in the UK where we enjoy a temperate climate.
