I’ve been clearing more brambles on the new half. I found the spikiest bits and have started making my slug defences for spring. These rings can go around transplanted brassicas to act as barbed wire. I make them while the plants are green and bendy, then dry them out for use in a couple of months.

If you don’t want to hurt your hands tying them you can just cut straight lengths to dry too, particularly good for rows of peas!
