    Hi, We need to know if 2 tunnels would provide enough food for 3 adults, we would like to utilize them as much as possible . We shall be growing outside with no dig as well, and finally would a greenhouse be a luxury we could justify?

    Anybody out there in the Charente by any chance? Would love to know how much longer the growing season is, if at all.

    Steve

    In Charente you can grow more outside, its a longer season so you need a tunnel less. 14 or 18 by 30 feet would be enough I think.
