Either wander about looking for people digging up the road and ask nicely for offcuts or go to Jewsons or somewhere - they all keep it : http://www.wickes.co.uk/MDPE-Pipe/invt/425072
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

What I do is put canes in the ground with plastic bottles over the ends and use that to keep the netting above the plants.

Thanks. I like the balls and cane pole idea. I did see in Asda that they are doing a bag of them balls for £4.00. The blue pipes look very good, do you just get the netting to sit over them like you would with the balls and canes?
