does anyone think its dangerous using a small fork to hold down cucumber do i need to blunt it first

There are members on here who use forks to weigh down cucumber with no problems, if you are worried about possible injury then you could use a spoon, I use plant weights but there are countless other options used. There is also the screwcumber as seen here HERE

I use one of those spoons with the long handles like you would get/use when eating a knickerbocker glory icecream.

Its great because you can have several slices of cucumber or a mixture of different sliced veggies down its handle.

The Bns seem to enjoy the variation.

Good Job

hi nas,
try sticking half a wafer in a piece of zucchini/cuke/cor , leave the wafer sticking up and the plec will go to it,as it knows it is food, will get a taste of the veggie and should begin eating veggies...may take a few tries,but had to do it with a common plec as he did not recognize the veggie as food at first.... then ate everything Wink

HTH,
Georgie

I was feeling the same. In the end i chose some butter knives at the $2 shop. nice and blunt and heavy. Thread it along the length of a cucumber and your set.
