Hi Ray,
I just completed the construction of my first EarthTainer yesterday without a hitch. The next step is the removable cage. I already ordered and received the Burpee's pea fences, and am just waiting to collect the other needed supplies. I wanted to let you know two things that I have discovered:
1. The "wire rope clips" at Lowe's have apparently gone up in price. The EarthTainer guide suggests that they cost $0.45, but they are actually $0.88 (at least by me). This means that if you are building more than ONE cage systems, it makes sense to order the box of 100.
2. I am having trouble locating a 1/4" stainless steel tube locally. I did find that Lowe's carries a 3/16" aluminum tube for around $2.50. By my measurements, this would be a very close fit... it may work, may not. Before I go and order the 1/4" tube online, have you by any chance tried with a 3/16" tube?
Thanks!
