I've used the black pegs on black weed fabric and they are a bit hard to remove! 

Re fleece - what does eveyone use to clip it around canes?  I thought I would build a cane frame to go around my carrot bed and run fleece around to hopefully stop the carrot fly.  I don't think I need to put a roof on do I if it is a good 2-3ft high?  But how to I secure the fleece to the canes to stop it just slipping down?

Amanda, I've used wooden spring-clip clothes pegs before now - they won't go completely round the cane, but enough to hold :)

AM - I did wonder about normal pegs and if they would be big enough or if they would just ping off - I am sure in one of the DIY stores I once saw "larger" pegs but that was a while ago!

the plastic ones tend to snap, so the wooden ones are better and, cos of the strain on the spring, the bigger the better.

there was a thread about clothes peg type clamps started by tim which resulted in a Best Buy: http://www.toolshopdirect.co.uk/handtool/product/WFC3420

My local pound shop sells 'storm pegs' in bags, which I'd be tempted to try!
