Any tips on "isolation chambers"?
« on: March 20, 2009, 11:05:56 »
I want to protect some of my chillies and peppers from cross-pollination using a barrier (not enough space for the distance approach).

Any suggestions? Is net curtain a fine enough to use?

Some time back I bought 5m of tubular fleece which can be cut to the required length and tied at the top of supporting canes over plants. Got it at Lidl if I remember correctly. Perhaps there are other suppliers? Try Googling.

Why bother making a chamber use tulle! easy to find and as cheap as chips and fine enough to stop cross pollination. You can also cover multiple pods.
