The other twenty-four hours some of my follower on my web log asked what was under that quarrel cover that was holding it up and I thought it was a expectant question . I ’d like to say it was my idea but it was n’t . A friend of mine , Tom ( who helped me build the greenhouse ) give me those structures . It ’s an ingenious idea .

He took a 5′ tall roll of fencing wire ( the holes were 2 inches by 4 inches but the hollow sizing does n’t really matter ) and cut it into pieces that when crumpled in half would be about 15 inches high . You could make tall ones as well . I use to make basketball hoop from 9 standard of measurement conducting wire but this is prosperous and supports the row pass over good specially if it hail . I use them for depleted develop vegetable , vegetables that may need some shadowiness , vegetables that I postulate to protect from insects and for transplants that need to acclimate to our harsh climate when I first put them out . The pokey end get pushed into the primer coat . Then you put a piece of row cover over it freehanded enough to cover both sides and the ends . The wind wo n’t pluck up the rowing cover if you put rock around the edges of the row cover . If you have longer rowing , just over lick the cages to extend them .

I water with a drip system so I do n’t have to get under them that much but they are easygoing enough to raise up on one side and top back to get to the plants underneath to piddle . He to begin with bought the conducting wire to make his tomato cages but find that you ca n’t get your hands through the hole to harvest and if you reduce out some of the wire to make the mess bigger , the sharp sharpness tear up your hand where you swerve the wire so he used the conducting wire this way of life . He had to move so he give me the conducting wire construction . What a with child gift !
