Product Reviews
I purchased reusable fleece and figo connectors to make fleece cages. The connectors are so easy to use and fit any thickness canes just pushed into the soil. The fleece is really thick and strong and I have had some for several years. It is only mid-May and my tomatoes are already developing fruit after starting them in the greenhouse and moving them outside a few weeks ago under the cages. My cabbages will soon be ready and have been under fleece from seedlings. Grazers spray has stopped any slug damage and they are the best I have ever had. My peppers are also flowering and outside along with many other vegetables and salad all protected. I dismantle the cages in mid-June and they take hardly any storage space. I leave the cabbages covered and have no caterpillars at all. I also build extra cages to store my bedding plants until they are ready to go out.
I have tried many different ways of connecting bamboo canes for netting on my allotment and I think these are the best. They keep the canes firmly in place, allow for different heights from one end to another as they are flexible and will hold 8 ft canes in place with no extra support needed. They also stay in place when it is windy. My only problem is that it can be hard to push the larger canes in as I have arthritis and the plastic is stiff but it is well worth the struggle. I wouldn't be without them.
I've recently tried both Build-a-Ball and Figo frame connectors, both with bamboo canes. My initial conclusions are that the Figo connectors are better. My canes are of varying thickness and the Figo connectors secure the canes more effectively. The Build-a-Ball might work well with 12 mm tubing but thin canes have little chance of staying in the short depth holes. I will try to use canes with a more even 12 mm thickness next attempt.
