Product Reviews
The balls themselves are good, but Harrods could do with supplying 12mm tubing as well....for those of us too lazy to do wedges, etc (see other reviews). I haven't had time to do that yet, so the canes fall out of the holes too easily. Moral - prepare to either wedge or tie canes in place, hence give yourself more time than you think?
Many thanks for your comments which is greatly appreciated, your feedback has been passed onto out R & D Dept. for further review.
I use this product with canes and netting to make a cage for my peas. Although canes vary in diameter, it is easy to shave canes that are too large and to add wedges - maybe matches or shavings from large canes - if the cane's diameter is too small.
Absolutely perfect for all gardens, can be used in raised beds, garden boarders at the allotment. Brilliant design. I used the balls with bamboo poles and netting. Now I grow veg from seeds and get to see them mature and hopefully eat without any pesky birds, butterflies etc. The wildlife can have the rest of the garden.
