Polytunnel first season in a cool wet climate

A practical first-season guide for using protected growing without ignoring ventilation, wind, access, and watering rhythm.

Goal

Use protected space to improve reliability, not to create a fragile high-maintenance corner of the system.

Early choices

Plan access, ventilation, water, staging, crop rotation, and wind security before filling every space with plants.

Wales note

Ventilation is not optional. Wet climates can create disease pressure inside protected spaces if air movement is ignored.

This is starter content for the rebuild. It should be expanded with real Live With Nature field notes, photographs, and verified examples before launch.
