  • Turnbuckles & Wire

    Sorry, not sure where to put this. I'm looking for Galvanised wire & Turnbuckles. Have already frazzled my brain on google & wondered if any grapes had some advice to give.

          Thanks Nicos, it's for making some support form my berry & current bushes against a wall. Just want them to be made easier to access.

                I was toying around with moving either apple, plum or cherry trees as they are only around 6' tall at the moment but decided to use it for fruit bushes instead.
