Compo 10,328 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 The lengths we gardeners go to in order to get summat fer nowt! This was me yesterday man-hauling a fishbox (found near the mouth of the River Wester), with a rope (found nearby), containing a real treasure; a piece of trawler netting (found about a mile further up the beach), for three miles to the car. The net will be used for peas and beans; the box for either mushrooms or for a mini-greenhouse to contain pots of small plants, covered with a sheet of glass and the rope willl always come in handy for something. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
