I plan to grow a few things up netting this year, but have heard that it is difficult to get the stuff off it after, so you can reuse it. Is it better to ues metal netting and burn off the debris? I don't want to use single use plastic jobs, and I have difficulty finding pea sticks (feel a bit guitly nicking them from the woods, as I met the owner whilst out blackberrying, and he was really nice, and said it was good to see them going to a good home. I'd take him some jam if I knew where he lived!)
I don't how old you child is, or what kind of special needs they have, so forgive me if I'm under/overestimating, but if you have plently of space you could either build a walled garden and put the gate bolt high up (or a fenced one, but it's not the same!) or maybe try and get him more involved in the garden (even if it's not the veg garden) The indian game sounds perfect for building a willow wigwam with him (although it might make it worse if he's going to sit in your veg!) Othersiwe I'd be inclined to go for the permant option |

Ooh, Deedee, two things, related though.
Have you been to Yalding? It's really worth it if not, it's divided in to small gardens so the ideas are portable, and one of them is a children's garden I think, with turf seat and table, and living willow tunnel.
Which is the other idea, perhaps a willow wig wam. And I've definitely seen someone grow a pea house, with the canes arranged so that the peas cover it like a little den. |
