Title: uses for pipe
Post by: cambourne7 on February 22, 2007, 18:47:09

Hi Guys,

I have been given some piping.

3 peices
3 inch in diamater with lenths 4ft, 3.5ft & 3ft

I was going to cut one down the middle for planting peas and beans into.

Not 100% what to do with the other bits and i need some advice i was thinking that i might cut into 5inch bits which i can use for leeks, parsnips?

Any other suggestions?

put them in the soil in an 'n' shape cover in netting and you have a fruit / brassica cage :-)

Cut them in half the 4ft into three and use them for blanching leeks.
