  • @ hypercharleyfarley: Ah okay cool - I understand where you're coming from and some very good points; it seems like a nice and interesting idea so I'll be adding it to the list, ahaha. I'll probably post some CAD models once I get a chance to design the details for all of the previous concepts.

    @ Hazel -- + philippa smith2: This might be a bit DIY-ish but you could just use metal rods with threaded ends and then just screw them together to extend the length; then perhaps use cable ties to secure the sunflower to the rods themselves - although I think philippa's idea would probably strain the wallet less, ahaha.

    I would like some kind of water-permeable landscaping fabric for lining the bottom of raised beds that will let water drain through but stop tree roots going up into the raised bed in search of the water and lovely soil in the raised bed image

  • @ Dovefromabove: Have you tried using canvas fabric (don't know its 'technical name', ahaha)? I had a similar use for it and it's quite resilient.

    @ Hazel --: Is this what you were looking for?

    I think bamboo related accessories would work well on sunflowers due the similarity in height during certain stages of growth.

  • Hello everyone, I have a quick question for the bulb planters - would the ability to dig holes of various diameters be something useful? Or is there a standard size that works with most/everything? 

    Thanks.

    Kind Regards,
