Polytunnel Irrigation First Tunnels | Projector Setup & Time for a break!

This week i set up our ‪@polytunnels‬ irrigation system as the final phase of the tunnel is complete ready for the new year. I also set up using the left over timber from the polytunnel and a blackout blind a mini home cinema set up and then a much needed break away.

We are- a family of four,
Mum- Annie,
Dad-Bruce
Two children Elsie and Betsy
One dog - Doug
and we decided to trade our busy life as home and business owners to chase the dream we’ve harboured for 10years.
How did we get here
After years of saying one day, we finally realised that these opportunities don’t just land in your lap and if we seriously wanted to make a difference to the Earth then we were going to have to stop talking about it and do it!
We sold all our stuff, got rid of the mortgage, sold our camper conversion business and landed in a dream come true. After traveling in our van we settled here in the west of Ireland. A place that has always been special to us. Annie is half Irish and since we met 12 years ago and she took me to meet her family i fell in love with Ireland too.
Now we’ve made this dream a reality there is no stopping us! our plan is to work hard, meet new people and learn new skills that will guide us on our journey of permaculture and creating a way of life that sings to us. One where we aren’t bound to the banks, working every hour and outsourcing all of our needs. A simple way of life, with connection to ourselves, each other, the earth and our community.

    Great video , thanks Bruce. I’ve been going back and forward to Donegal for over 65 years and it’s great to see another part of Ireland.

    Just one suggestion - re overhead irrigation in the polytunnel - you may wish to look into extending to a ground level inline irrigation system as dispersed airborne water droplets can lead to humid conditions condusive to molds developing on young plants, inc botyrtis and blight. Also water droplets on leaves at high temperatures in polytunnels will cause leaf scorch.

    Thanks that’s good advice. I had thought about that after I had bought it. I’m going to have to manually water at the moment as although I got it all working the pressure isn’t great enough to cover the whole tunnel. I have a feeling I’m gonna have a steep learning curve this coming year 😳

    Turn it into a Drip line, it's not going to be great for leafy greens as it is, best of luck with it.
