« on: January 15, 2012, 19:20 »
Hi all, need some feed back on this. Apparently, our local allotment chair person is trying to get walk in brassica cages, so I would like to here other allotment holders opinions on these cages! Thanks.

I have a walk in cage: I can easily clear up dead leaves so they don't rot, weed and feed, as well as crop regularly and easily.

Any cage needs to be butterfly proof, pigeon proof and not liable to blow down in gales. You must be able to move it to another bed for crop rotation, quite easily, as well as get in and out without it needs two people.

Hope that helps  :D

Did you buy it as a propriety product or make it yourself? If you bought it can you please advise supplier as I've had enough of pigeons and caterpillars etc and my own home-made product keeps coming apart

Then again just looked at the prices outrageous! You could make one for much cheaper.

I use a home made version on the polytunnel 5' high at the center and use scaffold tubes knocked in but still come out easy for moving my cages.

If anyone wants polytube and is near to Dudley pm me.
