Good luck MM,
I could see us all sitting crotcheting the silage wrap and making mats so the animals dont pug up the areas around the gateways.. or maybe make that dome hen run instead of using wirenetting, have to be a fence batten of a crotchet hook tho.. I might have a go with just making the chain rope, using my hand and see what happens from the wrap saved from the mini bales.. be great if it would make a frost cloth effect, since air needs to circulate but give protection.
oh the mind can run away with such ideas on this beeoootiful autumnal morn [8D]
