This is not relevant at all - but thought i would share this with you.  When i was young i was doing an assualt course (like you do) and the tunnel was covered with corrugated sheets, i was coming up through and raised my head too quickly and cut my head open on the end of the sheet.  Put me off assulat courses for life lol!  So in response too grotbag - be careful with those ends.

Thanks,I hear you both about the edges :o

I was thinking of something nasty leeching out into my organic beds like some plastics....
