    I thinking of putting a cage up about 5mts * 8mts and covering it with veggie mesh instead of the usual net, has anybody done this or have any thoughts.
    Aso any ideas which is the best way to keep formea under control.
    don't think I spelt that correctly.
    thanks up front.

    Only thing I know is that you need to get the netting off before first snowfall of the Winter, otherwise the weight will collapse it. Had that happen to the, very expensive, one that my parents erected.

    I just chuck some Scaffolder's Debris Netting over mine - supporting it on a few posts with tennis balls on top for things like soft fruit, and water pipe hoops for crops in rows like Brassicas
