A new skin on Valentine polytunnel

Yesterday's Tuesday volunteering session was all about putting a new skin onto Valentine polytunnel.

On Monday, Jamie and Hugh did some final bits of preparation for the big Tuesday job, removing bits of old plastic, and nailing some batten around the door frames.

We had a good team of people to help (seen here filling in the trench with earth after the skin had gone on) - Ross, Hugh, Emily, Patrick, Gina (who also looked after our chickens and prepared lunch), Jonas, Jamie, Katie, Jez, Ben, Rob (who also ran our stall at Sennen Farmer's Market) and Nick (not to mention John in the shop and Rebecca organising veg boxes in the office).

Lunchtime in the farmyard.

Getting towards the end of the day, filling in the trenches, levelling the ground, and preparing to re-hang the old doors.

The cover and doors all finished. Now we need to weed and clear!

Another big Tuesday job well done - many thanks to all!
There is a video we made of this process which can be found on our Facebook page (thank you Katie!).
