Polly In The Tunnel: Clearing and Cleansing

Well Autumn has arrived with the month of September. We are seeing misty mornings and the start of turning leaves. I have cleared the tomato plants which to be honest have not faired particular well in the poly, but I'm putting this down to a peculiar 2012. We have had enough tomatoes to make a few bags of passata plus provide some seed saving so I'm fairly ambivalent over the shortened season. It was, if you remember my year to grow heritage varieties for seed saving and trialling, so it is somewhat frustrating that I picked the one year when everyone has reported problems in GYO. The peas and beans are over too.
Anyhow it has created an early start on soil conditioning and cleaning of the polytunnel. So yesterday saw me add the seaweed out of my water butt to the top of my beds as a cleansing mulch. It was extremely pungent and so it necessitated chopping in and turning under. This has now been finished and compost has been added atop, ready for Winter sowings. Today was a biodynamic root day, which meant that I could sow my overwintering onions and shallots. Two module trays of Radar Onion have been sown, the remainder have been pushed direct into the poly soil. Same with Shakespeare Onion and Golden Gourmet Shallot. As per pictures below.
The next step is to clean the outer cover with Citrox. Let's hope for at least one warm day with which to get this messy job done.
