Sheet Polythene

Hi guys,

I'm looking to construct a structure around my tomatoes & chillis and need some polythene from somewhere, can anyone suggest a good place in South Dublin.

Also looking for some sort of windbreaker, any ideas?

Hello Charles,
if you are building a more permanent structure i would go to vink plastics in sandyford and give them the measurements you require and they will cut the pieces from a sheet of polycarbonate, you pay for the sheet 8'x4', about 120 euro i think is the ball park fig. for smaller less permanent pieces i would go across the road from vink to chadwicks and get a load of concrete / mortar bags very heavy duty and clear plastic, cut these open and staple over your frames.
For wind break i got a about 20 bare root blackthorn Prunus spinosa, from Lidl 2 years ago and they are great for diffusing the wind and come on very quickly too.

Regards, Ian.
