    Oh, Liz - I love your avatar! What a sweet little baby piggy! He only looks a few weeks old.

    Can you get hedge piggies to open up? I was shown how to do it by a lady that runs a refuge for injured hedge piggies.

    He was in a hedgehog rescue centre. It's one of my favourite baby animals pictures, I love hedgehogs. No, I've no idea how to make them open up [other than running them over :( :( :( ] How do you do it?

    My mums plastic greenhouse ripped this year and she is using the staging in her shed as extra shelving so at least its not wasted.

    I'm still using mine, too- but I've put it outside the greenhouse for 'growing on' seedlings. My cover also gave up the ghost but I bought a replacement.

    Hi Liz
    Sooner or later someone will offer an etfe covered greenhouse.
    It won`t be cheap though and it`s very unlikely to happen as they won`t be able to sell you another cover for at least 20 years ;)

    Sounds like good stuff, just been reading about the Eden project etfe pillows. How about a whole greenhouse made up of pillows? I can't visualise how flexible it is!

    Design is finalised and ready to build..once i find the time [​IMG]
    It`s pretty flexible stuff but very pricey..about �£15 sq m.
    Extremely hard to locate in the UK.. unless you`re ordering a lorry load so you`d have to import from Germany ;)
