The Summer Isles Hotel, Achiltibuie with Geoff Hamilton
Faced with a journey of 180 miles carrying several tons of vegetables every week, hotelier Robert Irvine found it hard to understand why producing his own salad crops, soft fruit and vegetables was so difficult. Early failures pinpointed the cold wet state of the soil in the early spring, conditions similar to many gardens, especially those with heavy clay soils. Using cloches and plastic tunnel houses he has become totally self-sufficient, producing high-quality food for his customers.
Hydroponics is a well-established horticultural technique. Aided by expert John Molyneux , Robert Irvine has also developed several units producing bumper crops of strawberries, french beans and peas very early in the season. Up to now, the equipment has not been readily available to the amateur market, but now a range of small units has been developed.
