wait a minute there.

I know that Alfred Hitchcock had guns and birds and scarecrows also. and he had a great many friends also [I think]. BUT what were those friends thinking when they were looking down at their martini? [should I eat the olive?] and what about bathrooms when he was around? [do I use the toilet paper? do I flush the toilet? would it be better to go in the alley?]

now you take poor little Darla. [do I move to another country? do i change my name to sputniknad?]

Master Beam you read my mind, my feelings are wounded. All I was trying to do is help Hector thin out his nanners so he didn't have to do it all by himself, I know how back breaking it can be to thin the matt's. I am such an light weight I welcomed the assistance from you and mushtaq86 to assist with cleaning up Hectors garden.
But no Hector, you went out and took preventive measures . Ok Hector you will get no assistance from me or the guys I'm sure, who knows I might just go Mia for a while we will see!

Happy growing to all,
Darla

How many pvc props do you have Hector?

I have two 16' single props that I used last year successfully however you have way more plants than I and use the double prop method.

PVC is the way to go. I tried to make a X prop last year from two 16" wooden boards and it seemed like it weighed about a hundred pounds and was very cumbersome.
