Outside tomato's
« on: June 18, 2011, 19:49 »
I have some tomato plants over from the greenhouse and am thinking may just as well put a row in the allotment.
I looked at other plots and most have like 2 foot high sticks with ether black or white flees or plastic to protect them from the wind etc.
Well I have 6 frames that are 2X6 feet, wood, I could put them around but would need to buy some material to put round, say plastic sheet, I also have a large staple gun for this job.
Now what is the best material to get ?
Please consider cost.

I'm lost without my SatNav.

I have never bothered with that sort of faffing about and never suffered from the wind - if you'll excuse me!  :lol:

It's lurking somewhere on another thread, but 4 long canes in a pyramid formation are self supporting and very stable. It's all I do.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I've found my little sketch.

18" between the corners at the base, the longer the canes are, the nearer the vertical they are.
