almeria southern spain is known as this but it’s not surprising the temperate climate and black soil is so fertile the geraniums on this aire are bushes up to 4 ft high and in flower now they have self set seedlings all around them i took a few back last year and they did very well at home spotted this little one today so with a cut down milk bottle on its way home

many of the polytunnels are really built on scrub land .
over the years have watched them clear the land and build them .
most use grow bags , then pile the soil each year in other places every year. now many tunnels are being removed and the grow bag soil spread on the land making good fields .
its been amazing over the years watching it .
mind they are lost now morocco as loads of tunnels in what was desert but spreading growbags they are slowly turning the desert into land to grow things .
they do have huge desalination plants to help that years ago nobody had . they desalinate the sea etc .
fantasic what can be done .
