Well, I watched it again last night - skipped the rose stuff completely but:

I saw something that I liked!!!

The raisable nets on Joe's lottie; as shown to him by his mate.

Going to set some up at the lottie; YAY!!!

Sounds interesting. I didn't see that bit. Any details?

Put canes round the perimeter [at each corner and more on a long straight run].

Tie string round about a foot high; but don't fix it TOO tight

Put the netting over the top, with enough hanging over the side

Then, as the crops grow ,lift the string on each cane and it lifts the netting.

Joe's was made with 8 ft canes, to make a walk-in cage [once it is fully extended].

Have a look on i-player - it was fab.

[BFG]

Thanks. I'll have a look.

Maybe I'm missing the point but why not just make it big enough to start with so you don't have to faff about with it?
