  • Making the most of space in a Greenhouse or Polytunnel can help to maximise your growing area for fruit and vegetables and therefore help to increase the amount you can grow. A great way to to this is to add flexible staging (shelves).
    In this video I provide a step by step guide to show how I made new timber removable staging (shelves) for my new polyhouse at minimum cost. Most of the timber I used was from free pallets. The only expense was the shelf batons, a few metal brackets and some screws. You do not need to follow my design exactly as your space may be a different size and shape, however many of the techniques I used can be adapted to pretty much any design.

    cont mud stuck to your boots. The Jungles and wild places of the world don't have teams of gardeners going out and digging the soil. The ground still produces lush crops. "No Dig means you mulch on the surface and let the worms and micro organisms feed the soil! Save time and have better results for the amount of crops you produce. This has been seen over a number of years of trials. Happy Gardening and I enjoyed the video. The comments are given with the best intentions. regards Peter from Devon

    Hi Gary, I thought I would look through some of your older videos and came across this. So useful as I have just bought a new, small greenhouse and this would be a perfect project. Thank you 😃 Great shelving. I am trying to work out a way to build staging that stays attached, with hinges to a length of battening, to the side of my greenhouse but drops down against the glass when i want to plant in the border. When the staging is uo as a shelf i would want to support it with a fold down or gateleg arrangement. Thea reason for this is I have no where to store the shelving if it needs to be taken out when I want to plant.

      @@bewoodford2807 thank you for your additional comment. The shelves I built in the video lift in and out as I need them, however, you could add hinges on one of the sides of the main frame and brackets to hook onto when the shelves are lifted via the hinges. If you look on RUclips I’m sure there will be other videos to give you some ideas and inspiration for hinged shelves. Kind regards. Gary

    Just one thought, I notice you follow the old school of gigging your soil. Have you not thought of No Dig? I follow Charles Dowding who champions the No Dig method, which is exactly what happens in nature. It would have saved you a couple of hours work. The bind weed can be controlled by using a black polythene membrane. You can then plant through it initially while you are killing off the bindweed and other weeds. By using the "Dig" method you are killing or damaging the mycorrhizal fungi. With "No dig"there are less weeds and what do come up are easier to clear. If used outside you can walk on the ground even after heavy rain and you don't get

      Thank you very much for your comment Peter. I’ve looked at no dig and I think I will start to experiment with no dig for a small part of my Allotment over the next year. I’ve avoided it so far because I love the exercise that digging gives me!
      I’ve seen all of the benefits that it can bring and I’ve increased my own compost production quite a lot over the last year to accommodate some no dig. Also, as I have a RUclips channel I know a lot of viewers will want to see how I get in with no dig.
      Thank you once again for your comment and kind regards. Gary

      @@TheAllotmentGardenandKitchen Thanks for your comment Gary. I find now that I'm getting older that less digging means I still get the benefits of fresh air and the bending up and down helps with my fitness.
