      Canes with tennis balls on top or Blue pipe used for housing outdoor electrical wires ( don't know technical term )
      You have to loose sight of the shore sometimes to cross new oceans

      I would be a perfectionist, but I dont have the time

        I think blue pipe is water pipe usually....Tennis balls on canes, wire or string stretched between posts, wire hoops...can put old hose on them.

        Like your ones though Flobalob...very rustic charm..don't look like they've got any snags either..do they last more than a year?

          Yeah blue pipe is water pipe, you are thinking about conduit for electrical cabling. But you can't bend conduit the same as water pipe.
          Or rather you can, but you are likely to be left with two pieces of conduit and if it's cold, a face full of shards.


          If you've got a wooden bed, pieces of wood screwed into the sides and a yoghurt pot or jam jar on the top, bricks hold the netting down on the paths.

          Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either.

            Because I 'pocket' plant in my beds I have to devise a way of protecting single or groups of 3 brassicas from birds? Any suggestions appreciated, but they must be ornamental. Willow hoops are the fav at the mo!

              They stored very well behind my garage and look as good as last year. So will be using them again.
              Likewise with my stored bean sticks...tonys+pics+april+09+(1)+021.jpg (image)
              Putting them back up today

                This looks a bit raw Snadge but may give you food for thought.
