penguinleo Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 some plant bunching lead? You know that highly malleable grey metal-lead thing that holds and sinks bunches of plants in fish stores. Or does anyone know where I can obtain some? I am needing quite a bit and maybe a long coil or many many small parts of it would be good. Thanks and all help will be appreciated!

Caryl Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Just found some. How about a piece 152g, 60cm long and 4.5cm wide? I do have a number of shorter bits if you prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St_Gabriel Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Penguinleo I asked the scrap metal dealer who picks up the scrap stainless/ali/MS from work if they sold it, he asked what size Next trip got a small sheet for nothing Just go to your local scrappy and they should have heaps, and I dont think its too dear to buy (couple bucks a kilo??)

alanmin4304 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Why do you need lead for plants. The people that need lead are those that sell the plant to the shops so it displays better while being sold. When you buy it you take the lead off and plant your plants. If you leave lead on it restricts the root growth and often causes the end of the plant to rot instead of growing roots. If you desperately want some I can send you a roll of new lead of about 1.25 kg for $10 incl P&P and you can cut it to the size you want, but I would advise against it. It is the same guage as they use in the shops (roof ridge flashing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
