protecting brussels
« on: July 23, 2014, 09:31 »
Hi, can any one recommend a good brussel net protector ?I have a netted tunnel which is 2ft high by about 6ft long, this has been great so far but because of the weather , lots of rain and sunshine the Brussels have gone mad and are now touching the top and bending over, I cannot seem to find in my local GC any that are more than 2ft high, Has anyone bought one taller than this and if so can you point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Loobs

I just use bamboo canes with the balls from a kids ball pond on the top to support my netting. Cheap and easy
