My Somerset Garden April 22nd 2010 "here's an idea ! "

That looks like an excellent idea, Mick. What are you growing on the posts?

Thanks Barbara

Do you know what I do in my spare time? stare at the garden and wonder how I can do things, then the light sometimes comes on! lol

The one in the picture is Clematis Ville de lyon, it sort of got forgot about last year and did nothing but Steve found it again and after a good recommendation for fish blood and bone, it is romping up, I'm going to grow sweet peas up the posts too, basically everything that has tendrils to cling really and of course a post!

Well done Mick...
I'll put this blog on GoYpedia Netting. :o)

Have you used the netting for anything else in your garden ?

I did this round a tree stake a few years ago and popped sweet peas up them. Its an easy way isnt it. Light bulb went off in Hubby's head over that. cant claim the credit.

Thanks Terra

Yes, I have a sleeper boundary at the end that weeps a bit of creosote contrary to what the suppliers told us! I am always afraid for the cats walking on it as their instinct is to lick their paws "not good at all" so i've clad it with the netting too to keep paws and hands off the nasty stuff!

Do you want me to do a picture blog for that as well?

I couldn't believe it Seaburn, it literally is a light bulb moment! well done your hubby! and well done for the sweet peas lol!

Yes, please Micky... and I'll add that blog to the GoYpedia netting as well.
Very good idea and useful... :o)
