@Lizzie27 I'm glad you've posted about making hoops, I have an old hose pipe I'm planning to use to make hoops this year. Never done it before though so it'll be a bit of an experiment!
I’ve used some plastic underfloor heating piping (acquired from a skip) together with some chicken wire to make a free standing leaf bin. I’m hoping to use some more of it with more chicken wire to make covers for my strawberries.
I think, but not 100% sure, that you can use lengths of hosepipe to make cloche tunnels hoops over your veg. I presume you put in canes each side of the row, thread the hosepipe over the top and perhaps support the middle by tying it to another cane. If you had a row of them you could even support the top of the 'hoop' by a long horizontal cane. Then you put either plastic sheets or fleece over the lot. I've never tried it but seen it on allotments?
Great idea! Perhaps thread some fencing wire through, stapling each end to stop the wire coming out. I don't have any wire.... but I'm thinking how to improvise [????]
