Novel use of materials and resources
Yet another eye-catching title I hear you say. What have they done now?
Jake and Sam have found a use for excess tetrapak stock card and so have we now. Tetrapak what? Let me explain.The young vines need some protection and help to get to the cordon wire. J & S found that the material that milk cartons are made from - tetrapak - basically waxed card is ideal. The excess bit seems to be 'end of line' printed stuff for example branded Clover Milk or Soya Milk. The waxed card is rolled out and cut to 1 metre lengths and then stapled into a tube and then popped over the 2 shoots of each vine. They look very cute in their Clover Milk livery now. Not as pretty as rows of green vines but they'll only be on for a couple of months. Photogenic? Maybe not - but I'll post some pics later.
The other bit of innovation is the use of cattle ear tags to label the rows. There has to be a pun in there but for the moment I am at a loss to think of one.
