Hi Brian,

Thanks for the tip mate. I'll hit my local Mitre10 or Bunnings & have a look around.

Regards,

Phil.

: I was recommended to use "tomato Stakes" of the "pale
: colour" (like ....sort of white) I found quite a few that suited in a
: local Mitre 10. I cut them down to 5mm, selected them for the
: "best" and away i went. I broke 3 from 17. Someone mentioned
: they were "blue gum"?
