Fake Grass

[mini-thumper]

Does anyone know of a supplier of cheap 'imitation grass' (and not the type easily available from Amsterdam!). Its required for the stand at Stafford in October. Ideally astroturf/fake lawn would be best, but its very expensive and heavy, so as a compromise the stuff that green grocers use for their displays would probably do.

All sensible ideas (and that especially means you Mr Keenan & Mr Dalby) most gratefully received.

I've used them for polytunnel covers, pots etc. and found them very good. If your into gardening the catalogue can be 'dangerous'!

What can I say Bill? Apart from actually paying for the stuff you've given me a very comprehensive reply. I will contact them tomorrow and probably order a few.

Many thanks

Boyd

Aye Boyd,

No problem! It's the least you can do for a man who's bike is now throwing a pork sausage up a close!! ;-)

Cheers, Bill

Aye Rog,

Its that polythene film thing as you try to skin the frame, 'pop' the acres of bubble wrap or use the cling wrap! ;-)

Maybe you prefer the 'Irrigation, Pop-Ups and Barbed LDPE pipe and fittings'!

Bring on the Dahlies!

Bill
