If I've bought any plug plants in polystyrene trays, I break them up and stick bits of the polystyrene on the end of the canes. But mostly I end up with a scratched face!
lilamber; what a brilliant idea; like the gamekeepers used to hang dead weasels etc on a fence as a warning to other animals.
Can anyone tell me how do you fasten the string to the greenhouse roof? I have a Halls Silverline lean-to g/h and as far as I can see it has nothing to which I can fasten string.
Not sure the cane-at-each-end idea will work, Lyn (unless you know better of course) as the downward force on the string will pull the their tops inwards. What if you built a little framework so you have a horizontal cane high up, and tie the strings to that?
Or find somewhere at the ends of the greenhouse to drill a hole in the structure?
I use the measuring pots from laundry detergent and any other small tops, if you feel inclined you can colour co-ordinate with your flowers.lol. Also buy tiny terracotta pots and birds from Garden Shows, will look for the owls mentioned above ... they sound good. I too enjoy using empty snail shells and shells found at the beach. But have bought little green caps from Garden Centre, as seem to need so many !!!

Art, you could put a tall cane either end and tie a string accross the two, then bring your strings down to under the plants,
I got ten toppers for a quid today at a local store B&M but I'm sure other places have them just as cheap.
