I’m part of the blue pipe massive, 25M of 25mm from Screwfix iirc. I thought it would need staking but to be honest it’s rigid enough to just push 12-18” into the soil. Cut into 6’ lengths.
Also thought I’d be clever and use 25mm pipe wall fixings to hold the netting but it was too faffy to take off to weed, just weighed it down with general allotment crap (broken bricks, rotten planks etc)
I agree, I’m mostly annoyed as they fall into the bracket of ‘tenants that do absolutely fuck all but never get pulled up for it’, on our site it does feel like the more you do the more the officer is on your case whereas the slackers seem to get a free pass.
I will go through and highlight the various ways in which the sycamore contravenes the rules. The devil is in the detail so I may as well throw the rules back at them.
In other news, I like the idea of some low hoop tunnels for winter this year.
Are people on here using blue water pipe? If so how are you anchoring it and where did you acquire it from?
We don’t have raised beds so will have to be driven into the ground to some extent.
All advice welcome, want to plant out some kale seedlings in the next couple of week. Have a bunch of ultra fine mesh still so may as well use it.
