No, not nutters - we have plenty of them.

Out of curiosity, how many people make nets?

I made a pea net c. 30 years ago, and it is expiring, so I am
making a few more. That's partly because I plan to grow quite
a lot of climbing vegetables next year. I don't make my own
bird nets, as that's too much like hard work! But pea nets,
with their wide mesh, are quite easy.


My grandfather used to make his own nets for peas and beans but he didn't
share how to do it with me.
He did tell me the date to plant runner beans.
