Here in the fens, even the Jerusalem Artichokes I planted as a windbreak have fallen over in the last couple of days. If it ain't staked, cloched or dwarf, it's flattened by the prevailing wind!

I'm seriously thinking about windbreaks :roll: What solutions can anyone suggest please? :D

A hedge is the best long term solution.
Short term ther is specific windbreak green plastic material for attaching to posts.
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
