those coiled supports
Love those coiled supports as per last weeks GW. A friend bought 10 from
Malvern and they are brilliant at supporting stuff, not too "in your face" but she can't read the suppliers details so I am trying to find out where to get them from. Anyone know? Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Anyone know? Janet I bought an interesting collection of supports, foresters rings, spirals and squiggles from a firm called Dr. Growgood. They have lasted well so far (roughly 10 years). I've also seen them at Hampton Court Flower Show, so they may visit one of the bigger shows in your area. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

Thanks Spider, these are like wire made into a coil which you pull up as high as you want and then ease the plant stems into the coils. Brilliant idea and good for lots of plants but nothing on the BBC site or elsewhere. V. Strange as they must be ,made and sold by someone. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Just a quick thought before I toddle off to bed .... why not try the BBC GW website and see if it's mentioned/advertised? It might turn something up.

Pam in Bristol Annoyingly I can see it on Iplayer, its 26 minutes into the programme and it said they were 19 pounds for 4 spirals but I can't get my speaker to work properly so can't find out the makers! Looking at it again there might just have been a small stand in which the spiral are placed so i will go back to the reference Spider made and look at the details again!

Pam in Bristol Now look what's happened I found the Gardening naturally site and just had to order both types of plant spirals and then i thought the hortibottle idea for watering was good and then I looked at some other stuff .......................... sigh, I'll have to do a lot of gardens to pay for it all now -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

It's just a spiral and in the centre the wire bends through 90 degrees and fits into a tube. You could make the same and put the end into a bambo cane. David Hill |

Clearly you are more adept at stuff like that than I! No way could I make a half decent spiral I liked the idea because you can rescue the plants that haven't been supported but should have been (generally the case in my garden) I also like the way they can sort of splay out rather than be held rigid. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

those coiled supports
In article , Jake
writes The last is the most expensive but offeres free shipping so if you only want one pack, might be a good bet. The manufacturer's website is at: http://www.babyllon.co.uk But they're the most expensive of all (though they have the other type that's a spiral support rather than a climbing plant one). Cheers John No these were like the above but didn't have the stand on them. They could be put round the plant even when it had grown. Carol Klein showed us how to use them on the programme. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Cheers John Aha I think I've found them, Not only that they are cheaper! http://www.gardening-naturally.com/a...lant_Support.h tml They say that these are used for climbing plants and also for others. When carol Klein used them it was on perennials and she just eased the stems into the spirals. Think I'll treat myself to 1 box and report back. Thanks for all the replies!
