I've bought some to try next year, looks really solid stuff.

Bought it off ebay and it's exactly the same stuff as above, but nearly £13 cheaper. (Sorry jazzbyrd!).
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

if you make little net tunnels to protect your veg, how do you weed it??  sorry if i sound a bit stoopid, my plot is crazy with weeds and i think i might go mad trying to weed with netting everywhere.... you would find me all knotted up in it weeks later!
 seriously though, is there an easy way to do this?
