Thrifty Gardening

I've been really impressed by "Thrifty Gardening" by Alys Fowler - one of the presenters on Gardener's World. It's a very timely publication as the country's twin obsessions seem to be GYO and the credit crunch. And even if it weren't with the zeitgeist, no one wants to grow strawberries at £2 something each!
Luckily, I know a number of very keen allotment gardeners and inherited a pile of useful things behind the garden shed from the previous custodian of the garden.
Thus far, I have created a fruit cage to contain the strawberries and fruit bushes from net that came with the property and value plastic clothes pegs:

I also managed to cobble together some netting over the Link-a-board raised bed which came cheap on a newspaper promotion using plastic hosepiping to support it purchased for a pound from the local poundland:

To the left you can see the progress the onions, rocket and Osaka greens are making in the top of the larger bag garden. I'll post an update when I plant the dwarf french beans into the sides of the bag.
