Screw Thing Wanted

[7755matt]

Ive seen a few pics where people have ehat looks like an open spring, or corkscrew in their tanks for holding cucumber / courgette etc

Does anyone have a spare they'd sell, or tell me where to get one please?

theyre called a screw cumber and you can get them off ebay

Why waste the money? A stainless steel teaspoon does the job

I just use stainless steel screws from thew hardware store.

You could just get a cheap corkscrew and saw off the twisted metal with a hacksaw then glue to a flat board if you want to put it under the gravel or a clothes pin if you want it on the side.

basically yeah but they can slide of so all you do is bend the spoon
