Looks fantastic! Love the methods you use for the beds and soil mixture! Our tunnel will be coming in next week, and I'm gonna definitely use some of your techniques! Up in the mountains of New York, we have just rocks and boulders, so it's impossible to plant in the ground, so raised beds are a must-have. I'm not sure if you have it yet, but I saw a lot of people install rain gutters on their polytunnel that deposit water right into their rain drum/barrel for maximum collection.
