Yes, if you tie a piece of copper wire round the structure.

The best material is some old TV co-ax. tear off the outside
coating (many of them are pre-scored) and push (don't pull!) the
braided copper screen off the diastatic.

You'll find the bare screen will stretch to several times the
length of your original cable.

Thank you. Val, have you used this on your raised beds?

No I haven't but I will now


I bet you will) Btw Rusty, I have saved your advice and thank you.


You're welcome.

Advice is free. Copper comes a bit dearer.


I reckon David can find the odd bit of co-ax. come the day
