.., do you mean the stuff builders put into concrete floors and walls to reinforce it? 

Well, I certainly did, most of the US sites seem to show it, like this sort of thing:

Yes that is it, but I am confused now. I don't think it must be as heavy as the stuff some of you are talking about as you can see it is not too difficult to bend into a round, it is certainly heavier than the pet wires used on cages etc and it is very sturdy, perhaps the British stuff is heavier. We used to buy it from a farm shop.Thank you for finding the link Jennym XX Jeannine

Thanks for both the links, I now know the stuff.  ;)

There was me thinking Jeannine must have superhuman strength or something!  :o
The stuff I was thinking of Jeannine is almost as thick as a pencil! ::)

Now I'm back on track with the original conversation, I might try this method.  Well anything has to be better than what I usually do!  Problem is, every year, I forget to sort something else out and resort to the same mound of sticks again! :-\

Must try harder!!!! ;D

To support my tomatoes, I get a bunch of nubile collage girls with large pom-poms.

Give us a 'T' ...

I tried that, but got complaints that it was disturbing the local wildlife!

However, it did cure the bird problem, as there was always a large crowd of living scarecrows hovering around, from spotty schoolboys to retired sausage makers ;D
