Hi there,
I am a beginner starting out with a raised bed in a tiny city garden...

I was wondering if it is ok to use a plastic tunnel (like a very mini polytunnel) as a cold frame - if the plastic cover is removable. As I am on a tight budget I was going to make the tunnel myself, using it as a cold frame now and later in the year the frame could be used to hold nets over my strawberries. What do you think??

Many thanks
Risin Very Happy
