thanks Marshall, Its a Looong way to Lowes or Home Dept from here. I'l do a search and maybe make my own. OK, I had a look, good ideas but would stop our beasties. The tomatoes should get some sort of green house here to keep them going and will use the CS and H2O2 spray for fungus which is bound to get going.
There a whole forest of hungry creatures out there, samango monkeys, baboons, nothing much will stop those guys if they take a liking to what you have. They go over any fence and break anything if they want it. A very specific electric fence will do it. Birds that take most are francolins, sort of like partridges. Nothing seems to touch the tomatoes which I bought as seedlings. But the strawberries were very popular and so are the beans.
