Default support for peas

I only have 2 rows, of about 10 plants per row. I have some lengths of
timber that I can fix netting to - a bit of timber at the end of each of
the rows, with the netting between should be fine (I hope!)


You'll only get about one boiling off that.
Peas are normally grown by drawing a 6 inch wide flat bottomed trench and
spacing the pea seeds about 2 inches apart across and along the rows so you
get hundreds of plants in a row. (Unless the mice find them!)
That's why we grow up a strong wire netting not individual canes.
