I remember seeing Monty Don making hooped plant supports from metal rods on
TV. I have tried googling but without success. Can anyone please point me
in
the direction of a web link with what type of steel I need to use and the
instructions for getting a decent curve when bending it.

TIA

these can be used for rounds if careful

all you then need is some 1/4" or 6mm mild steel rod, a propane gas torch
and a tig welder to nail it all together..........
