This is my "cropping" greenhouse (32' x 10' bought on eBay for 400 quid) as at 03-July-2008; first year of operation so not stuffed full. Glass not cleaned since erecting - sorry about that!

So yours is the greenhouse I've been seeing on the news recently!

Thanet Earth - Fresh investment and innovation. A new agricultural future for Thanet.

I agree though, that's a nice pair of melons. Are you going to cradle them, or leave them suspended by string?

"Thanet"

Hahahaha!! They are using hydroponics - looks like NFT from what I have seen (a trickle of water / nutrients flows past the roots, and the plants have no soil / substrate, just a rockwool cube that they were sown in, rather than them sitting in "deep hydroponic" substrate and solution).

I built nearly an acre of greenhouses doing that back in the '70s, and the yields were pretty spectacular compared to soil / grow bags.

"Are you going to cradle them, or leave them suspended by string?"

Yup, string is temporary, mind you they are growing very quickly, so I'd better get a move on and get my wife's tights off her for my nice pair of melons, as you put it! ... Oh!Err!Missus
