Brassica Cages

(1/2) > >>

Longshanks:
I know you can buy walk in cages, but I'm not growing that much in the way of cabbages etc., but I will try a few cabbages etc.

So, imagine a water pipe/wood base standard construction with environmesh netting.  Now imagine a similar shaped wooden base beneath the brassica cage's wooden base. I'll connect the two with hinges and just raise it up to weed and feed and deslug.

What could go wrong?

Like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef_TS19TRQg but with netting instead of plastic?

Longshanks:
Excellent. Thanks.

Try and make it a cuboid as slanting angles would make planting harder. Has to be quite large so that no leaves touch any sides, or you could have the sides as plastic.

Hi , new member here .
That sounds a good , reusable system .
Could anyone advise the best way to combat snowfall ? I`m in the first year of hooped cages (some will have crops over this Winter and some will be empty) .
Best to roll the rubble netting onto the top and tie in place onto the blue pipes , or remove it altogether and lay something over crops/ground to keep birds and animals off the soil ?
