where did you get the drainage pipe from Karl, cheapest I could find was £15
Re: The official "does is need protecting yet" thread!
I use it at work m8, i'm a roofing contractor & we use it as heavy duty downpipe on colleges etc, that price is about right for a 4m length. remember you can use it year after year. karl.cordyman wrote:karl66 wrote:Forgot to add i put 6inch soil pipe over stems before fleecing. karl.karl66 wrote:Yesterday i cut the leaves off my sikimensis & Musa Musa Musa basjoo & fleeced them both, then the bloody sun comes out in the afternoon.

Re: The official "does is need protecting yet" thread!
i'm a bit confused this morning.
there is ice all over the place, not frost, ice but all the plants seem fine.
is it only after they warm back up i would notice damage?
