Some years ago we decided that we would buy a proper fruit cage for our brassicas 6 metre x 6 metre. Yes it was expensive but it's our hobby too so cheaper than playing golf or a season ticket for football etc. Now we can move it every year around our plot (4 year rotation) in a day, and we can both get in and weed with a hoe standing up straight which is important for me as I have arthritis of the spine. A number of other plot holders have followed our lead and bought " brassica" cages too. Bad luck with the arthritis, hope it's not too bad for you. For others who don't want to spend too much money, I use debris netting, held up with bamboo canes with pop bottles on top, so the canes don't wear holes in the netting. Weeding is not easy but it is a relativly cheap method. A 50m X 3m roll of bebris netting cost me £50 a few years ago. And it has no signs of rotting or breaking up. So it seems to be a one off purchase. http://tinyurl.com/pohvybr Baz In fact it is now £35 for the 50m X 3m roll!!!!! Baz |
