A recent wardrobe declutter has left me with a surfeit of wire coat hangers. I’ m sure there must be some useful ways in which I can recycle them for garden use.
Any innovative suggestions please . Links to photos would be even better!

Hoops for fleece cloches or something fine to keep carrot fly off.

Alas I might first have to try and use the coat hangers to build myself a greenhouse !

You can cut them up and make hooks to push in the ground to anchor plastic cloches etc.

Thank you for the link Diane. There are some pretty innovative and useful ideas on there, even if many of them relate to indoors rather than outdoors.

Some interesting ideas there Diane. It looks like quite a pliable wire they are using. Some of ours are quite difficult to bend as I've found when making pegs to hold strawberry runners down.
