  • Now there's strange.

    I pass a commercial growers on the way to my work area, who's setup includes 10 or 12large poly tunnels.

    I noticed a couple of weeks ago they had removed the covering from 4 of them, I presumed due to age or damage.

    On my way passed today they had been recovered with..................................black polythene, totally blacking out the interior.

    Now there's strange answers on a postcard please.

              Yes, but we use black plastic to solarise our weeds....not kill the veges!

                    They could be making a new mining re-enactment society, or it could be like VC suggested.

                      I'm guessing mushrooms...........we have a similar mushroom farm by us..........good source of spent mushroom compost.........

                      Rhubarb is a good possibility too..........

                          I know VVG, that when you've discovered the reason, you're going to say "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you"

                            I have a theory

                            With the great & ever increasing popularity of digital photography & the countless thousands of millions of digits used,the planet is beginning to run out of the freely available digits,thus there is likely to be a resurrection of old technology & these people with amazing foresight are building giant darkrooms to process all the film that will surely be used during the impending festive season
