Default Shade/Insect Cage Idea

This was for my cabbage, but the idea applies if you need a cheap and easy shade cage. Collapsible mesh laundry baskets from the dollar store. Get decent wire cutters, cut the tops off and put them over the plant upside-down. Shove some of the bare wire into the ground to keep it in place.



Ta-da! The idea falls apart when the plant gets larger, but hey, it works for a while.
