been off the board for a while... moving house, new baby etc.

BUT. now I'm back.

I moved 3 doors down the road and had to take 4 trailer loads of bananas and other plants down with me. the beauty of moving is a bigger garden and a brand new poly tunnel. so my question is this.

I have set up an automatic frost protection system that should hold the tunnel to about 5/6 degrees C minimum, anyone got any experience of watering levels over winter at this temperature? I have let things go about as dry as i dare as i don't want rot to set in.
any input would be great, will post some photos when i get a chance
