old hose pipes as universal joints

[John_H]

sorry if this one has been shaired before, but I use two foot long bits of hose pipe as 'universal joints' between bamboo canes. A bit of pipe with two 6 foot canes poked in the ends of it will help to make and easy build  'A' frame or an archway over the path between two raised beds, (very handy use of redundant space for growing beans up). three short bits of bamboo joined by two bits of hose pipe can be used as a low frame to cover any beds which low growing soft fruit is planted in.

This is so inherently simple, I am staggered by it !!!

Thank you for educating me  :)

Thanks John,

thats a really good idea - I was thinking about making a row of arches on either side of the path to grow beans up.

You've solved the 'arch' problem !!!!

Happy New Year,

Gail :)

What a wonderfull Idea.  I have some old hosepipe (years old but had to finaly be replaced last summer when it gave up on me). Never ever thought of using it to join up canes.

Cheers!
