I used those balls used in play pits. You can buy them from the Early learning Centre.

You're thinking of build-a-ball HUtC. Plenty of people use them, but like Capsid said, there are cheaper alternatives.
I seem to recall a reader of GYO saying they use those swimming pool float tube thingys cut into smaller pieces.A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/

A chap on our site has let me borrow some to see what they are like no idea where to get them tho.
You can use tennis balls or like the other threads have said the ones for ball pools are cheaper.Gardening ..... begins with daybreak

I bought those plastic play balls last year, from Asd@. they are disintegrating already
this year I am linking my canes with a piece of old hosepipe, and supporting the netting over this. Works a treat so far.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.
