Me again
Just a quick update and a big thanks for link to the Gardeners world video Mumofstig
After much searching and telephoning around we decided to order our netting from Wondermesh (
http://www.wondermesh.co.uk/) who were so helpful when I telephoned them. I believe they may have had a mention on here in the past but could I just say how very grateful I was to Mike who went that extra mile for us by trying to get the order delivered by Royal Mail Special Delivery so we could get it this weekend. Sadly....if not surprisingly Royal Mail wanted to charge them nearly £30 to make the delivery....and also said it couldn't be totally guaranteed because of the Royal Wedding road closures in London!.
In the end we settled for courier delivery for next Tuesday instead. The Wondermesh we went for is called WM 16 Garden net and costs £30.10 (includes postage) and measures 3.65m x 10metres. There is about £6 of Vat to add to that but for 10 metres of netting it worked out cheaper than any of the other similar products I could see on the internet.
We have purchased the blue water piping from Wickes and intend to use this with the wondermesh to create our little network of raised bed tunnels.
I would have used the debris netting (much cheaper) but could only find the stuff with 3 bands of eyelets which meant the middle band would possibly allow insects access to the plants. Was also told it doesn't last much longer than a season or two whereas this wondermesh can last up to 10 years so I think it will be a good investment for the long term.
If we can get it all to work I will post up some photos
Thanks again everyone - I don't know what I would do without your help x
