I saw this in Dirt

I realised I could make something identical from some old camping cutting boards (the ones that roll up - cost about $5 each.

Seemed a very simple design and when they inevitable got torn, dislodged, buggered etc, just buy another cutting board and start again.

that looks pretty good and smart.

i might look into that but look for something closer

There's no need for them in Australia.

If you really must though, google 'Crud Catcher'.
