Muriel, I've seen piccies of peeps using plastic pipes as the support for their cloches. I'd be interested to know if theres a specific wire to use, or do you just use whatever you can lay your hands on. I've got several metres of "blue" pipe, but not sure if its suitable

the blue pipe is alcathene please,excuse the spelling. i got mine from some united utilities guys working on our road one day when you use it put some 18inch canes in first and put the pipe over the cane
also if you dont like blue it comes in a nice shade of yellow

Default Cloches

I would like to say thanks for the advice, I have managed to find some of the piping mentioned above from wickes, so I will be paying them a visit.

So many thanks to both of you.
