  • Recommend me some carrot netting!

    I'm going to have another go at carrots, but since the last time I had a go, someone (not naming names, but he's the father of my OH...) has taken the netting off my hoops! To buy the tunnel is £20, so I'm looking for the same gauge netting to go over my existing hoops - my local garden centre only seems to have very wide gauge on the rolls. So, can anyone recommend an online supplier (or even a garden centre close to Dorking in Surrey that stocks it on the roll? Squires definitely don't!).
    Help! Thankies in advance.

        Gardening fleece seems to be pretty cheap on e-bay.

        The other thing you could look for (I'm using this at the moment) is mosquito netting. The holes are tiny and it will block very little light. The camping grade is a bit heavier.

        Really lightweight shade cloth might be another option - again, e-bay seems best for large quantities.

        What size is the tunnel?

            Never occurred to me to use net curtains or mosquito netting! Thanks!
            As for how big is the tunnel...um, it's been a while but I seem to remember it wasn't more than about 12 ft, but if I'm putting new netting on I could space the hoops out a bit more! Will put a wanted ad on free cycle, see what's around. Although come to think of it, FI has some disgustingly old net curtains next door, so I could swipe em, eye for an eye style. :-D
