heya all,

i've been years trying to get this pic attached. what with broken pc, lost or missing camera, camera cable etc  etc.

anyway, i skavanged this chair from a skip, only to discover that it sank in the back garden grass. So I noticed the four tops at a building site, cast aside. "that'll do nicely", I thought. results as you see in pic.

i use those for putting on the top of bamboo canes and suspending my debris netting on for my brassicas and fruits bushes.
you may be a king or a little street sweeper but sooner or later you dance with de reaper.

Feel a bit thick asking this, but what are the yellow bits that are stopping the chair sinking into the ground. Seems like a good idea to me, but what are they???

Jennym,

they are used on bldg sites, for the ends of reinforced steel, to stop you poking your eyes out....

I use empty baked bean cans - could tie them on but haven't bothered yet.

Cheers.
With a microholding you always get too much or bugger-all. (I'm fed up calling it an allotment garden - it just encourages the tidy-police).

The simple/complex split is more & more important: Simple fertilisers Poor, complex ones Good. Simple (old) poisons predictable, others (new) the opposite.

DolphinGarden. Just seen your post, I am fine thank you. I do visit A4A every day but haven't had a lot to contribute.
