Good idea.
I'm only limited by what you can get in a Fiesta. I use black dev bottles in my greenhouse for heat sinks, there's the wheely bin water butt courtesy of the council, old window cold frame, and lots of pallets for everything else.

2 bits of reinforcing mesh leaning against each other for your runner beans will last you forever

dont laugh this is true.
take a car wiper motor and the mechanism bit, fasten a kitchen knife to it,
rig it all up on a piece of timber so the knife goes into a chopping action against the timber.now wire it up to a 12 volt battery and hey presto a runner been chopper,watch your fingers though

true story this
when i was a teenager (not that long ago)we were walkin the fields with the dogs when i saw some pigeons sittin in a field so creeping up along the hedge got a bit closer.when we were in stone throwing distance we through a couple of stones at them as we were doing this some chap popped out of the other hedge on the other side and told us to **** off they were his decoys  :oops:

lmaoooooooo. i have one . was sitting in a hide and watched a buzzard dive down time and time agin to attack a decoy .it finally got a toe hold on it and flew up with it .it went to bite it in the head area and it got one hell of a shock and let it go ,,,, it stil came back lol. anoter one i was again in ahide  and the lane to the marshcame off a layby a white car pulled into the field backwards and this figure got out the passenger side and drew down its jeans and panties .and went on to start having a 2s at this point i let off a double barrel and holllerd what the hell you doing there and the sheer delight of seing this woman dive back in to the car half undressed was pure pleasure lo the car slammed into gear and drove out the lane skimming grass and mud  from its tyres , i do hope she only nipped it in the bud so to speak

Wish I had seen that, only thing I've shot is clay pigeons and being rather dodo at it, not many of them.

Got some more big plastic bottles today, some tent pegs and some shelf brackets that seemed to be lying around at work.
I need a roofrack or the loan of a van to get some more pallets though. And some swine has taken the scaffold board I had my eye on - and I was only waiting for it to dry off a bit...

freecycle for a roof rack
