The one i just finished after about 4 years is 28 m long the mesh board is 2 1/8'' and it looks just right ,I must admit i havent tried it out yet B

Here are some pics of my baskets and nets ,, The poles are 10m/m x 900 long aluminium I am located in Langwarrin just other side of Frankston PS I used your basket as a pattern Cumbrian Thanks I wouldn't go back rarely use purse nets now B

I made up some quick set baskets a few years ago , I made the baskets from 1/4 stainless rod bent to shape then used shade mesh for the bags , I also use aluminium poles around 8m/m will have to check on that , There are some good pics on here to give you a idea , They are fast to setup and pull down i wouldn't go back , Were in victoria are you , I am located on the mornington peninsula B

I plant in a wicking bed made from a 1000 litre tank called a IBC , I have been starting them off in a greenhouse but this year going to try them straight in the bed Thinking about my tomatoes at the moment , But its a frost this morn in melbourne so might just wait a bit longer B

I grow a few hot ones , And if you want to preserve them the best way i found is in white vinegar in a jam jar as always you have to many all at once , They grow well in oz B

Hey Pete I will PM my mobe number to organize a time , I have put a few rings in my ute so i dont forget B

I am one suburb over in Langy about 10 klms small world hey , let me know if you want some rings for free to try and we can arange a time and place , Dont get me started on fly tieing i did dabble a little and was just thinking the other day about saltwater fly fishing and tieing B

This is the vid that i used when i started making my own nets , Its was easy to follow as some are a little confusing watch it a few times , were in vic are you as i have some nylon rings that i made up a while ago if you want a few , thread is on THL few people didnt like em but they are good dont rust or make any noise when unfolding and slide well and made in Australia by me hehe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UufuQGr8kA

Hey Garbs Why dont you start making your own ,I started only about two or three years ago only after about 40 years of rabbiting never payed much attention as how they were made pretty easy really , And you can make a couple of big uns for when you get two holes together Thats if you have time that is cheers Bernie

See ya mate

Thats good to hear it wouldnt be nice for the stinkys I had a bad run with it about 15 years ago reckon one of my dogs carried it back from fox shooting he used to catch it all the time a labrador he was , Yet my kelpie never had it once dont know why they were always together , So if you have dogs also check them usually under there stomach were there is not much hair looks like elephant skin but if you use them flea drops that gets rid ,, Mrs found a little spray bottle of tea tree oil in safeway the other day its a bit easier to use Bernie

Nice ferret Doug , I am keepin a polecat jill out of my lot this year , This one caught my attention as it was more interested in my company when i fed them every mornin a bit different hey Almost forgot what this post was about , I havent time to argue about stuff to many bun buns to catch B

Footrot is usually connected to sarcoptic mange main culprit is the humble fox I use tea tree oil on the feet every second day, buy a little bottle neet and paint with small artists brush that will sort there feet out may take a few weeks Then wash with that stuff doug mentioned malawash malaban that will kill live mites but the eggs will hatch again in a few weeks so have to do again,, google life cycle I also spray all the bedding nest box ect with diluted either tea tree oil or that malaban stuff If you have other ferrets i would wash them also in malawash and spray be

Here are my two now ,Dont think i would have any other type when older, but Kelpies they can be full on sometimes, The black one has a lot of prey drive ,, Black one is the mum 6yrs and son 4yrs

No worrys , Yeah i had a heap of frozen water bottles in the hutch the other week when it was 42c all the little ones were snuggled up to them all day they not silly B
