    Hello
    Last year i got into gardening and bought a polytunnel recently. Last year before getting the tunnel I started a lot of seeds outside by wrapping the pots in cling film or covering with a sheet of glass. I just want to know if i should still wrap the pots in clingfilm inside the poly tunnel or leave it off. Any help and points of view appreciated.

    Regards

    I use fish boxes to start seeds in polytunnell-cover boxes with cling film for about a week(creates a higher temp,mini environment) When seeds germinate remove film during the day and depending on frost,cold,etc cover at night for another few days to harden them off,works fine.
    Have started parsley,lettuce,rocket,cabbage and spring onions that way last week! Nothing peeping yet though!!!
