Sounds like I'll need stakes or pvc pipe anyway.

Hmmm.. I have 14/ acre of bamboo.. maybe I can put it to good use?


They build houses, fences, and bridges out of bamboo. I think you could
rig a little bit of netting with it. Heck of a lot better and more
natural looking than PVC.


I've got some as tall as 30-40 feet. think I'll cut a few stalks, and bury
them on one side, and then bend them over and lash them down to the other
side. I can take one piece, run it down the center, and tie the bent tops to
it for some stability.

Then I just need the netting, and I'll be done. I keep trying to find SOME
use for the damned stuff.. I took a construction vehicle, tore most of it
out 2 years ago, and that whole area is again covered by growth 10-20 feet
high already!
