Title: Cloches
Post by: tim on February 07, 2008, 09:03:01
Prompted by someone else's idea, here is what we did.


Oh, dear - too late to change the spelling!!

I didn't have any heavy wire (or was it I couldn't find wire cutters!). But, string held in place with canes, works for us one year (before going to the raised beds). I think I had early broadies under, then moved to protect an early planting out of dwarf french beans.  ;D
They worked better than the cheap polytunnel cloche thing that was in Lidl's that someone on here mentioned (2 years ago?) which blew away. I think I still have an unused one (or is it just the empty box) in the shed!

These work really well Tim, I have corrugated plastic left over from a lean to roof. I just angle the canes so they press down a little on the top of the cloche :D
