ali-s Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 The wooden pegs with a length of twine or string used to mark a straight line in a vegetable bed? I need to either make one or buy one judging by my wavy rows of leeks. The name of this piece of equipment escapes me and it has been driving me crazy all afternoon. It must be my age Thank you Oh, and if any one knows where I can buy one I would be very grateful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 My advice is make your own. They are so cheap and easy to make, but are so expensive in garden centres in the like. Seen some for about £20 which is way out. No idea what they are called though, sorry! Martin :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I think they are just called a 'string line' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Think it's called a 'planting line'. I got mine earlier this year in a pound shop. Not sure if they will still have them now as it's a bit late on in the season..... you know what shops are like, they will soon be filling the shelves with the Christmas things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
