DEBRIE NETTING

Debris netting?

Blowaway - a lightweight mini greenhouse, usually a tubular frame with plastic cover, 3 or 4 tiers high. So nicknamed for its habit of falling over in wind if insufficiently weighted/secured.

Am re-reading "We made a garden" by Margerie Fish. She keeps saying she used "cottoning" to keep birds off of seeds etc.

What is "cottoning"?? Thanks!

[jackyspratty]

I think it may be when you tie lengths of cotton between canes in a criss cross pattern which prevents the birds landing on you seeds?

Flo's Stayput, a rigid 2' x 6' rigid glasshouse secured to the wall of the house as last year 3 Blowaways did just that

Debris netting

it's what builders use,a safety netting to contain flying debri/builders rubbish,if you look on any large site,you will see it,it's mostly green,but have seen blue in use,

Sorry - was correcting spelling rather that querying. Handy though as I always assumed it was that large holed orange plastic netting some people use!

The ones I don't understand are usually BH (which I now know to be better half, he's not, we're equal but would always call him OH as in other half), DD / DS etc - think this is darling which is a word that makes me shudder and think of mwwwahhhhh kisses, eughhhhhhhhhh. Am usually OK with most of the gardening ones as they're usually the official phrase abbreviated (there are exceptions ) but some of the others are just acronyms for phrases I'd never use in real life - I mean it took me several years to discover that LOL was laugh out loud (are people really doing this when they say they are?) and not lots of love!

I don't concern myself about LOL but when people ROFPML I have very serious worries for their muscle weaknesses - and the carpet.

I usually have to google ones like that to find out what they mean which kind of takes it away however I have got a friend with this medical problem since childbirth

I'm guessing that they don't draw attention to it in text messages though!
