Guest Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I got a 90cm x 30m green metal mesh roll of the bay a few months back for £25 iirc. Could make 60 cages 50cm high with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintstone Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I've yet to buy mesh. So I need to account for roughly 1m wide per plant? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimma Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I find 1.5 metre lengths roll up to a better cage size @Flintstone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inaction man Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I got some of the dark green chicken mesh from aldi today, much stealthier shade of green than wilko's I usually get 6 or 7 cages from 10m 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Key4 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I do mine 60cm tall x 80cm circumference because you get 25% more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sheriff of Nottingham Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I do a lot of mine 150cm tall as I have had red deer reach over a 130cm mesh and munch leaves, and in one case eat an entire plant that had a 4 - 5ft high mesh around it with a 100cm circumference. So now I always supersize my mesh/cages. A 4 ft mesh can stop a Roe Deer, but it will not stop a red deer (unless it is an actual cage with the top still left on) so if you live in a Red Deer area, take the necessarily precautions and build your mesh high enough, or keep the top of the cage left on. You might regret it otherwise. I certainly learnt the hard way. 90% of the deer in my area are Roe Deer, but all it takes is that 1 single red deer who will eat all of your plants in one night if he finds them. Wire meshes are merely a deterrent to him. The pesky cunt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintstone Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 60cm x 25m ordered along with some copper tape. Just need to knock up some collars now. Woke up yesterday and my mini greenhouse was at a 45 degree angle! Sprinted down the garden in my dressing gown!! All my seedlings were fine but the kids' flower seedlings were a mess! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lea Valley Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) @English Archer Archer have you ever thought about this? Tie a few to your cages. silent but if "something rattles your cage" by tugging on the plant or disturbing the wire and they jingle it may be enough to startle and deter a Fox or Deer ? Depends if the plots secure enough to be confident, not to be used 5 ft from a footpath. @inaction man Ive gone for the green mesh from Aldi too. For some reason I think the green mesh is more stealthy. Prolly not tho @Slim Pickens Nice vid, I never see this sort of recyclable stuff in the places I go. Especially the tyres, do you think the black helps at this stage with heat retention? Popped into Wilco and picked up 40 L Coco Coir packs at £4.00 per. Also Poundland are doing Copper Slug Tape. Unsure of the price on this tho. Edited March 29, 2017 by Lea Valley 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lea Valley Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) @MohamedbearYou better not be "here all week " with that sort of material Edit : There was no price on the tape, maybe £3.50 a roll at a guess Edited March 29, 2017 by Lea Valley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohamedbear Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Cheers for the heads up because I went to b&q and asked in the garden bit and they just looked at me gone out like what? slugs can't cross copper they probably thought I was high or something Edited March 29, 2017 by Mohamedbear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sheriff of Nottingham Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Shit, I start my new job on Monday and I am nervous as fuck. I don't know if I am going to be able to stomach it and put up with it, or be able to see it through. Basically the official title of my job is 'Roadkill Collector' and it involves me going around the motorways and dual carriageways on behalf of the council, collecting dead animals (deer, foxes, badgers, birds, cats, dogs) off the sides of the road using a shovel, gloves, broom etc and putting the animal remains/carcasses into special roadkill bags which are then loaded onto the van. Every 10 animals or so, I go back to the depot to unload them into a big refinery thing to be incinerated or buried/composted or whatever, and then I go back out again. £475 a week for 35 hours work (£13.50 an hour) which kind of makes it worth it, or does it? I seriously doubt I will ever be able to eat lunch on the job, or at any point during the day... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
