Title: Scaffold netting
Post by: tilts on April 28, 2006, 15:19:54
I have acquired an amount of scaffold netting which at the time I thought would be great to make a fruit netting for the raspberries, having had a look at it it appears to be a bit dark, does anyone have any ideas or used it?

Is it the green stuff?  If so, I bought a load last year on ebay and intend to use it over my cabbages.  Loads of other plots on my site use it on everything from fruit, onions, salad etc so I think you'll be okay.

on my site it is used as a temporary fruit cage - the raspberries dont seem to mind it at all

Hi tilts, Hi all,  :)

I made my fruit cage sides with it, I don`t have enough to do the top so I`ll use lighter netting. Others on my site use it 100% and never seem to have problems,

they're not gnomes!! ::) they're two of the seven dwarfs. my boys bought them for me with their pocket money and although i leave them where they will get tripped over, kicked etc....they've still not smashed. the greenhouse was built using old window frames (no two the same size)by a lovely guy at our plots. just had to buy the nails. who needs ventilation systems when you can open a window. ;)
