Bamboo DIY Climbing Frames




Posted by Picasa

We were looking for some interesting climbing frames for beans and wanted something natural and of course cheap, or practically free so made up these bamboo ones.  They were pretty easy to make really - just tied at the joints with - well, I have to admit a penny pinching idea here - cut up old T shirts !  These are best as they are stretchy and have more give and you can still get a firmer and tighter knot that will last and make them stronger.  We put the cute trims around as we were trimming back the honeysuckle and it also gave the plants something extra to hang on to.

Permaculture Garden Visit

We went recently for a visit to a local eco village and saw some permaculture gardens and came back inspired to switch ours around (again) They had quite a few compost heaps, and lots of interesting ideas, like climbing frames for plants and  companion planting 

Curious Neighbour

Seems neighbours are still peering over the fence even in the country ! But its pretty neat to have four legged neighbours and friendly as well.  We had forgotten how curious cows are !  One of our ex-farmer told us to put a radio outside and the whole herd will arrive to see what is happening. get your own four legged curious neighbours and live the good life  in the countryside
