In the past I bought "canes" which were steel covered in plastic with
knurled surfaces.

I know that they are quite expensive - but I wondered if anyone knows
of a good supplier of them - I am thinking 2.4m long (for runner
beans) - expecting they will outlast me !!!!


If you're going to cut back your laurel hedge, couldn't you use the
trimmings (if long enough) as supports?
