Oh fantastic! Can't wait to come see him in his new domain. He is a big softie but always had a healthy distrust for people until they gained his trust, after which I am certain I got a kind of puzzled and bemused affection from him.

It sounds like he's grown up a bit. Here he couldn't control the hens but then, some were ex-bats and the rest he grew up with. With yours he didn't have a 'history' and so I guess could start without being as the upstart youngster!

I'll check out the eBay stuff, anything less flimsy is great. Thank you! The netting we have been using is good for covering raised beds but bugger all else!

Good strength, certainly, and thank you, but not something we're keen on because it's a garden and so, while we fail terribly at times, we'd like to try to keep some sense of the garden being pleasing to the eye.

Don't get me wrong, we've abandoned all hope of a lawn and don't want one, we're growing all sorts of tougher grasses and clovers, but the main thing is... orange.... eek....

Dark green's a different story, thanks. Dark green we could cope with!
