calabrese has outgrown the nets
« on: June 16, 2009, 15:34 »
First time growing anythin - my calabrese has taken off much faster than I expected so they are now pushing up against the enviromesh covers.  I thought an 2ft  high cover    over hoops would be fine and see me thru the summer.  Not so.  I have some more enviromesh but not enough to replace the cover in one piece.
Question :  is there any way to join the enviromesh and increase the height of the covers?  The hoops are blue water pipes.
trying to be green except when blue

Put some canes in and fix your pipe hoops over the top of these. Fold the edges of the mesh around each other and fix with a clothes peg every few inches :)
