A very simple plant support
« on: August 07, 2011, 17:23 »
Not much to say about this one really.

I have neglected the tomatoes badly and came out this morning to find the inevitable, that last nights rain had made them fall over. After a few minutes spent wandering for scraps around the garden, I came up the following.

A quick and simple way to support tomatoes and other plants, made from an old pallet cut in half, a piece of water pipe and two screws.

What a brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing.  :)
Be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else.
