new cage up (photo)

[rita1]

my new cage is up, so now i can keep my plants safe from the birds.
onion sets in, pea's sticks and pea's in, so this time i will be able to stop the birds taking my peas, and the onions will stay where i put them.
my hubby worked hard all day errecting the cage and it was a beautiful day.

don't be too sure you won't find your onion sets out of the ground despite your investment. They have a habit of pushing themselves out as the roots develop.

Hope it works as well as it looks

i live in the sticks and the birds are forever eating my plants, last year i planted my pea's 3 times, the pigeons was having a good old snack, also i have ducks and chickens so now i can keep them off, they are only let on through the winter months when they eat the slugs.

What is it made out of? Looks Good

the poles are steel which are drilled into the sleepers.

Looks great...Well worth the effort :-)

Looks great. I have cheap ones made with canes and hose and it's very annoying to have to remove the netting, etc.

thats brilliant ... i need to make a fruit cage to keep the blackbirds etc off my blackcurrants etc....dont have any sleepers (There is a disused railway line at the end of my garden but dont think I dare steal the sleepers!)and anyway they will be covered in creosote....but I do have pallets which i might use...wait for a good weather day and have a go! Thanks....
