Google for low-slope, commercial, flat roofers that do EPDM roofing. Sometimes they will keep slices of reroofing projects around. Youll want 45 or 60mil ballasted roof tear off. Most of the time they will cut it at 10x10 squares or greater. That rubber roofing is the same stuff they use for pond liners, and will last you for decades, and can very easily be fixed with some quality epoxy caulking if they ever spring a leak. Toss some minnow sin there to help control some minnows too!

I am researching starting a sheep flock. I had settled on just using stranded electric fence, but the set-up task really seemed daunting. I saw this netting on homedepot while researching the starkline fence. Im glad you have a video of this brand! It sure looks comparable to be honest.

Thanks for the video. I have Premier1's version of netting. It works pretty well but small kids that aren't broken to it will get shocked & walk through it. It's also fairly expensive. Have you had any problems like that? Also, do you ever move the net? Is it a pain? Ours is a bear but it's probably innate to any electric netting. Thanks again for the video.

@@donhill1825 So far so good with kids walking through it. Moving it around isn’t super difficult I usually roll it up and move it that way. But for $100 a roll I’ve been just adding to the current fence and making the pen bigger.

I may be odd man out but I would never do this myself. That puts a lot of stress on the plant and sets it back and greatly reduces its ability to father as much light as possible. When those bulbs are starting to form and you hack off half the plant it doesn't focus the energy on the bulbs, you took most of the energy away and made the plant focus on growing back😂 the leaves it just had.

What height is your fence? One I have is 50". I like to go back around and tension every section of the net after it is in place. Once the corners are tied down to the ground, the whole net becomes a lot more solid and secure.

Hello from the Berkshires, MA. Onions are new for us this year and this is wicked helpful. Right now they are in the ground as tiny transplants. Look like little blades of grass. Added nitrogen and will continue... hope mine are half the size of yours! Peace

Go easy on the nitrogen so you don’t just grow leaves. As a bulb they need more phosphorous and potassium so a fertilizer with those higher than nitrogen would be best.

Take it back. That screen sucks man. Mine busted and that is that. It lasted me 4 days. It does make quick and easy work! But why the heck did they not weld these seams????? Pretty frustrated. They don’t sell “replacement screens” either. You have to wait 2 weeks for blue sky innovations to send you one. I’ll finish out canning season and take it back. Then next spring buy another one and take it back until they weld the dang screen.

Fellow gardeners, don't get discouraged & give up. Keep learning, researching & doing better. Every year, I focus on growing at least one thing better. This 14:24 onions & watermellons. My watermelons are great now & onions are better. Onions will be even bigger next year with the tips given on this video. Your tips on growing with your short & sweet details, as you gave great demonstration, answered my questions well on how long to wait to prune & easy way to free up the bulb for getting sunshine. I love green onions, but bigger bulbs are the harder goal. Thanks again.
