You and Martin you have jointly steered me to what I anticipate to

Oh, good - I hope they turn out to be what you want. People could
probably
construct something similar out of chicken wire, don't you think?

Yes, probably. But what do you do with all that chicken wire which is
left over after you have made all the baskets you want from only a
tenth of the roll of wire?
{:-))

I *think* you can buy it by the metre, can't you? I used to use it a fair
bit for doing big flower arrangements. Failing that, Franz, you will
discover that what you most need in life is a sturdy fruit cage and adjust
your thinking accordingly. ;-)

I tried a couple of years ago and the firm would not let me have less
than a roll. But never mind, for better or worse, those much
discussed van Tubingen baskets are on the way........

You can't build a fruit cage on soil which is only 6" thick before you
hit bedrock. {:-((

This could start a whole new thread on raised fruit beds! ;-)

If you think I am going to raise a bed by a foot or so, just to enable
me to build a fruit cage in order to use up some surplus chicken wire,
you should have another think. {:-))
