Description

This application is for the infrastructure of an market garden, as part of a site adjacent to the corporate entrance to The National Botanic Garden of Wales. The experimental market garden arming with Fungi will test the effects of mycorrhizal fungi in crop rotation versus no crop rotation of horticultural crops, as well trialling recycled carbon dioxide pumped into a productive polytunnel. The produce grown will serve both the Caffi Botanica within the Botanic Gardens, and residents of the local villages as part of a Community Supported Agriculture scheme. We request permission for: 4m x 8m packing shed near the southeast corner. Two 4m x 12m CO2 test polytunnels also in the south-east. A 4m x 8m track/parking area adjacent to these test polytunnels. Two 6.4m x 20m multi span polytunnels situated in the northwest corner. This larger pair of tunnels will be erected in two or three years time, provided the market garden enterprise is successful and has the required funding to purchase them
