What tube diameter would you recommend in this case in phenoculture?
This brand offers several models http://www.johnnyseeds.com/tools-suppli ... -9419.html

This is why we must first fix on a type of pots or clods.

I would be tempted by 5 or 6 cm in diameter and / or side [edit: to correct a slip, I had written "radius"] ... To raise plants "large" enough and delay planting .. .

But at this point, it is still "speculation".

It should read: "from 5 to 6 cm in diameter or sideways" ... (note from Ahmed, official corrector of Did inc.). 8)

Vigilant corrector!

In my youth, the newspaper Le Monde prided itself on having vigilant and sharp correctors. And the errors were exceptional and the subject of a scandal, letters of protest .. Today, at least on the website, I happen to see some! Maybe you are better than them?

I do not think I am the best, the explanation is rather that everywhere we cut corners on the budget of the correction; after all, there are automatic spellcheckers * that produce acceptable prose (at least on certain types of mistakes) if you are not too demanding but above all obsessed with the costs of a serious proofreading and contextual correction. : roll:
This is all the more so since the readership has become less fussy: the decrease in the practice of reading / writing and the SMS language have gone through this!

* Should "orthographic" agree with the name that it qualifies or not, knowing that (the spelling) only exists in the singular when it is taken in its general sense? : Wink:
... and that it is only in the plural that it becomes very singular! : Lol:

And that the speed of news is such that it is not re-read! Especially on the site (but I also saw some nice ones in the paper version of the newspaper).

The other day, an ad, with a huge mistake. So much so that I wondered where the "valve" was! I searched, searched and not found. I deduced that it was a "big mistake" ...

About square and round, I think that the occasional handyman who would be tempted by the self-construction of this kind of cane, should rather orient themselves on a square model, because it is always possible to add pieces with this shape and get out of it one way or another. Adjustments are much more convenient with parts that dock at right angles. Those who choose this option should, however, take care to establish a compromise between a thin tube, but difficult to weld and a thicker tube, but heavier in use.

I give this advice because I place myself here as part of the minimum tools required for this achievement: small angle grinder (or even a hacksaw), portable drill and arc welding station. These restrictions do not apply to those who are better equipped and better trained is-DIY...

This is also what I thought, with tip like here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50XQKkKk_Ig&t=16s, a pedal and a free hand like here https://youtu.be/hrCdtZ8NUR0?t=48 , it would not be bad for difficult lands.

Since :

1) you already have a device like that in hand

2) you are an informed and equipped handyman (you weld)

3) you think about the question

do you think that a model where everything would be screwed / bolted is possible for those who do not know how to weld and are not equipped ??? [follow my gaze to flush out such an idiot!]

The full bolting option is perfectly conceivable, but it is an approach that is not natural for me, since on the one hand I am equipped with several welding processes and on the other hand I really like welding ... 8)

A few decades ago the commonplace archery was quite common, but the business now offers so many things at affordable prices that this vogue is in decline; however, if one does not want to be satisfied with large series products or if one wishes to repair, welding is an essential technique (it allows "to hybridize" disparate elements that it would not be possible to manufacture oneself. -even).

As ignorance of the practice of welding is not of genetic origin, nothing prevents anyone andouille that it is to learn and thus add an arrow to his bow (sic)! If you come to my house, I would be happy to introduce you to the melting of steel! :P
