Our Experiments With Poly Houses

Growing vegetables in areas of heavy rainfall has been a challenge usually taken up using glass and poly houses. We are trying a similar, but more open mix with farm yard waste. With the top protected from the rain, while it’s reducing direct sunlight, the staff on ground have come up with a permanent bed structure confined with spare fibre sheets from the farm.
