No, not nutters - we have plenty of them.

Out of curiosity, how many people make nets?


We were taught how to make net at school, the last one I made was
about 30 years ago, a goal net for the sons' football pitch.

If you're looking for supplies there were still a few in Scotland last
time I looked.


I also was taught netting at school and used it in the Guides but have
long forgotten how to do it. Making nets for the garden sounds a
really good idea if I can get the knack again!


Be warned that the effort is pro rata to the number of knots - i.e.
inversely proportional to the square of the size of the mesh. But
it's quite a relaxing activity.

Nick Maclaren.
