On an early morning walk from Nakano station on the Chuo line through to Shinjuku we came across this simple and effective use of a 100 Yen laundry net used to protect seedlings from insects, birds and whatever other dangerous elements the street may bring.

This solution is a great illustration of the inventive and strongly practical use/reuse of a familiar and cheap mass-produced item in urban gardening.
