Yes, when its windy it is a sod to do. When I am doing this on my own I
weight down one end of the net with heavy stones or rocks, then drag the
netting over and do the same at the other end. Weight it down. In between
the netting you might need some canes with an upturned plastic bottle on
the end to stop the cane poking through the net. This will stop the netting
going anywhere near your plants. Well, I have read this through and realise
it might not be that clear to anyone but me.. Well, I know what I mean.


I cheated - I planted them all closer together than I should (/much/ closer,
but I figure 2/3 or more will die anyhow), then stole the framework netting
thing off the sweet potatoes. :-)
