Default Best Way to Put Netting over Seedlings in Raised Bed?

The pigeons have eaten most of my french bean seedlings in may raised
vegetable bed. Anyone know a neat and easily removable way of putting
netting just a few inches above soil on a raised bed?
thanks, Davy


Make a frame work of 2 x 2 timber and fix the netting to that. Works a
treat. Had it on our raised beds for years. Keeps the neighbours vermin cats
off as well :-))

Been there. Done that. Got the Tee shirt.

They stow away on top of the garage when not in use :-))
