  • Using goal post on the allotment

    I have just been given a set of goal posts that were being scrapped by the school I work at.
    With the help of the family I carted them onto my plot at the weekend (all of 300 yards from where the goal posts were being stored at school.

    And they are getting rid of another set soon, so with the first set I am planing using them along the edge of the allotment that doesnt have a fence yet I will set them about four foot high and grow black berries along them, with a hawthorn hedgebelow it.

    When I get the other set I will leave them at their normal height and use them to grow beans and peas up and other climbers, this is great as I have also been given 2 goal nets which are really strong so these will fastened vertically on the goal posts.

    Now I reckon this has to be recycling at its best as they wold have gone in a skip. (although skips are good for rumaging)

    I've got access to an old set of posts and crossbar and hadn't thought of using them for runner bean supports (suitably concreted in of course)

    Nice one crichmond!!!!!

      I wasnt thinking of concreting them in, as I have some old scaffold pole and the inside diameter of the goal posts is just bigger than 2 inch I intend to use a four foot section and hammer itin 2 foot deep and then stck the goal post on top that way I can move the location if I need to next year.

        Good idea crichmond! The area where I'm putting my runners has clubroot and onion whiterot so I think I'll just keep my runners in this area for at least the next 10 years though!

          Some how sounds like it wants to be a fruit cage to me......nonetheless, there is an old boy at the lottie that has a similar structure. pegs baler twine from X-bar to ground...beans wind up and flex in the wind.
