I didn't realize I hadn't got a piccy of the proper nets in place.
The picture shows the bamboo frame with rubber knuckles to shove in the canes . The fine black net you can see is 8 mm mesh squares in a fairly rigid net of five year UV protected pond cover that is used to keep leaves off / out the pond . It is two x 2 mtr lengths zip tied on to a catenery wire made of some old BT overhead wire .
Munchkin & I dismantled the whole thing on Thursday in readiness for a stronger frame .
the nets came from the bay as " vegetable protection nets 10 x 10 mtr " , 2 for around £ 7 ( ish ) each .
Because the beds are only a metre wide the nets will be doubled over .. It also makes a good cabbage white block when doubled over , providing you keep the greenery off the net .
More pictures tomorrow if it doesn't rain like mad , showing the new frame partly constructed .
Perhaps by Wed everything will be in place & the job finished. ( I'm waiting for some more bits & bobs due in on Monday evening to complete things ) .
