The bungee is tight enough to hold itself in place i have a few hooks screwed inthe wood to stop it riding up in a wind.As the bungee is totally wrapped around the bed the CWB can't get in

That's cool, I've been thinking how I can net my beds (neighbour feeds birds, loads are always around... also for some pest-proofing..
Question though - how do you get to the middle of your beds? Just step on the soil? I wanted to make wider beds, but have read about keeping off the soil?
Thanks.Comment

Well I'm hoping that at 1.4m off the ground it should give enough 'stooping space' to get inside. Also I'll be putting weed suppressant matting down and transplanting through holes in that so there shouldn't be too much weeding. On top of that, it's for the brassica bed and they don't mind heavily compacted soil.Originally posted by chrismarks View PostCurrent Executive Board Members at Ollietopia Inc:

What a great idea to use those clips. I can see that hoop system being a good way of protecting carrots as well, with a simple cardboard end tied on.
I found some of these clips at the hardware store at a bargain price a couple of years ago and got the idea to use some of them to put a hose at a raised level along the fence to my greenhouse. At a stroke the foxes stopped chewing the hose that ran along the ground - that made life a lot easier.Comment

I use the piping in 8ft x 4ft beds .I use polthene dust sheets from lidl which overlap the ends and can be gathered with velcro cable straps to seal the ends .I am consigering using debris netting the same way this year for my brassicas,anyone know a good supplierdon't be afraid to innovate and try new things
remember.........only the dead fish go with the flow

This was a previous thread around cages. The cheapest pace for debris netting is ebay.
