Very nice, but how do you prevent birds or insects getting to it? Is this a glass/green house?
No, it’s in the garden, exposed to all the elements.
You’re always going to get some loss with gardening, you can’t beat nature but you can minimise insect attacks with home made pesticides like chilli or garlic water sprayed onto the plants. The birds only go for my courgettes, I put netting over them.
