 Here is one simple instructable is dedicated to the realization of my garden in spring 2012.
It is a solution to the problem created by the wind: it has a tendency to fit through the holes in the nylon and create a  "balloon effect" causing various adverse effects including some damage to the plant.
In addition, as you can see, you decrease the effectiveness of nylon in all senses!
To remedy this I thought this simple and non-expensive construction.

 To achieve this I used simple pieces of corrugated tube (can derive either from exhaust pipes of old appliances or lengths of waste pipe for electrical installations under track).
In an early version appears in the video, I filled with sand pipe before connecting it to make a circle; in the second version, which is the one that I adopted as final I did go into the inside of the tube a segment of wire of 2 mm diameter, then fillet with bamboo rod, causing him to go through this after having drilled a hole;
In this way it was possible, by sticking the barrel that also serves as a mentor for the tomato that I planted in the ground, setting circles are also kept in position by wire fixed to the barrel.
