Because of the nature of my garden I am unable to construct a fruit cage and can only individually protect each fruit bush ( I have 5 currant and 3 blueberries bushes) can you advise which of your netting products would be suitable for draping over each bush to protect them from birds

Please could you advise me which slot and lock connectors I would need to make a frame similar to GPL-092 Easy Bean System.

I would like more information about how the gripple wire tensioner works please. 1. Do I have to use it with the rope wire shown in your picture or will plain wire work too? 2. How does it tighten the wire to re-tension it?

I have tried netting vegetables with netting from my local garden centre, but birds sometimes get caught, and the business of removing dead birds is rather upsetting. I notice that you do butterfly netting in three different forms. Do birds get caught in these? What is the reason for choosing for example, soft versus heavy duty?

I was wondering whether you have any suggestions about supports for raspberries.

I have a large heavy duty pigeon net which is too big for my current needs. Can I cut it in half?

Please can you advise me as to how long i should keep 30 gms fleeces on for?

My broad beans had loads of scarlet flowers on them in the cage. They grew well but after the flowers shrivelled there was not a single bean on any plant.

I am looking for an inexpensive, easy to install, but tough solution to wire fence my chickens?
