Hi Everyone,
I have been given the opportunity to have a Polytunnel built in a family members yard as mine is way to small for a setup like this.
The tunnel will measure in at: 4 meter width and 8 meter length. I might divide it into two segments, one for none-carnivorous plants and one for carnivorous plant.
My plan is to setup some kind of automatic watering system for the Carni's maybe a tray system that floods water into the tray and lets it drain out again. I have seen some great designs on the forum but was wondering if any of you has had experience with Polytunnels and automatic watering of Carnivores in them.
I will be growing Tropical/sub-tropical Drosera, VFT, Sarr's, and a few Nep's (which I will have to water with a different method).
The reason for the automatic watering is that I won't be able to visit the tunnel everyday, but I need to ensure that the Carnivores have got sufficient water. The section for the normal plants will get managed by someone else but they won't be managing the Carnivores unfortunately.
I am really excited about the tunnel as it means that I can expand my collection! Which I can't seem to get enough of.
Thanks!
