When people ask us “what is a polytunnel used for?” the answer is simple: a polytunnel is one of the most versatile tools a grower can have. Whether you’re growing leafy greens for your family, trays of microgreens for a café, or climbing tomatoes for the local farmers’ market, a tunnel gives you control, protection, and a big leg-up on productivity.

What’s the most profitable crop to grow in a polytunnel? It’s one of the most common questions we get asked. And while it would be easy to point to a high-value crop like tomatoes or microgreens, the real answer is: it depends. What you choose to grow inside your polytunnel should be guided by your goals—whether that’s replacing your grocery bill, earning a profit at market, or supplying produce to local retailers or restaurants.

Ever wished you could enjoy a steady stream of farm-fresh produce year-round? Whether you’re a backyard grower or a small-scale farmer, or grow commercially on a large scale, a well-planned polytunnel setup can help you beat the seasons and maximise harvests throughout the year.

Composting is one of the most effective ways to enhance soil health, reduce waste, and improve plant growth. Whether you're a home gardener or a commercial grower, without good quality compost your plants aren’t thriving like they could be.

Hydroponic growing is transforming the way we grow food. Combining hydroponic systems with a polytunnel creates an environment for year-round growing, offering protection from unpredictable weather and optimising growing conditions.
