I much prefer to use pea sticks than netting, which I cannot get along
with, maybe my fault, any tips?
Anyway I have alder at the bottom of the garden and use cuttings from
these
as pea sticks, however the electricity board are coming to cut them all
down this winter.

Are they going to dig out the roots? If not they will actually be coppicing
them for you and you will get a better crop of pea sticks although you may
have a year to wait.
