Ladylil Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Recently saw an excellent idea for hanging cabbages (or swedes etc) from the roof of runs so thought I'd share. Screw a screw part of the way into the core/stump of the vegetable and hang using string or wire attached to the screw. Tried it myself and it works a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Haha I got desperate once and used the whisk part of a food mixer screwed in to the bottom of a corn on the cob and then tied up. Resourceful us chicken keepers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladylil Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 I like it! Anyone else have any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nin-chicken Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I push a long metal skewer quite far into a corn cob then hang it directly from the little loopy bit on the end, it kind of clips onto the roof of the cube run. With broccoli I pierce a big hole in the stalk and thread the string through. More ideas please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I use the metal skewer idea too . I like the screw idea though - might try that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennie186 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I pierce a hole through cabbage stalk/broccoli stalk or sweet corn with a skewer and then thread garden green plastic covered bendy wire through and twist of side of run. I have now got a special fruit hanger from the omlet store which works really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperaliceuk Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I use Jenny's method but I thread through that hard plastic washing line - gets used for all sorts of things - including tying down the tarps - have realised that the bungees just do not hold up in high winds - they are too flexible and wind gets under the flaps.
