I make mine out of my willows
Be honest… are YOU a stick hoarder too?! 😂 Which trellis are you making first?
When you use no plastic it keeps things non toxic.
Great ideas. Thanks
Stick horder – same Kim, same. 😅 I made a ladder for my chickens using fallen branches once, and used a large branch as a perch for them, it’s still in use today! 😊
I had a stick stash to fill bottom deep raised beds, but totally will start recollecting for trellising this year. Bamboo stakes, metal ones, t-posts, sticks — use it ALL 🙂
I should stop burning all of my sticks. But then I’d need people to come and take the excess off of my hands. 👍
Oh my goodness! That's a good idea! I'm going to do the same. Thanks for the tips!
Love em, Kim❤ Tee pee trellises are too cool. 😎 Making our own trellises adds to our tribalism 😂 Got the roll of fencing from Amazon! I may have to get some more sticks from my kids’ yard. My grandson used to always bring me sticks, and I was always telling him outside! lol Bamboo sticks work in a pinch. 🎋🏕️🪴🪻🌱🥰
🎉thank u for sharing your practical nice idea! 💝🌷🌻🦋
I might make a trellises for my watermelons🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
❤❤
I will try to send pics of my trellis I have made
Love free ass stuff otherwise we fill the dumps beyond capacity
My wife burns our sticks….lol
Love the idea. I am having some branches cut tomorrow from my acer tree. It is a magnificent tree but has gone a bit wild. By the way, I made a typo in a previous comment when I wrote that the canes I am going to use were 8ft they are in fact 6ft. Great ideas thanks Maggie UK
Yes, I collect sticks. I use the wiring to make cages double tall in the summer to hold up my tomatoes and sticks to stake during the summer. Then during the fall & winter when cages are not needed so much and the sticks aren’t either the cages become the stick holders for me so I can collect more sticks for the coming growing season.
So glad I'm not the only one!
Rustic is my middle name!
Yes, I have a stick stash. I am also always on the lookout for sticks when I take a walk. I just made a teepee trellis with twine for a tomato with sticks I pruned from my apple tree. I also made a border around my raspberries with sticks and twine. I like the mini A frame you made. Fun video. Thank you.
Hey CaliKim, I too am a stick saver- its a must when you have a growing garden- space and plants :). I have bamboo, sunflower and tree sticks and plastic sticks purchased from home depot for my vining beans and every season I use every one of them to trellis. Happy Gardening Season.
I need to up my game in stick stashing. I’ve only got a few😂I have a vine stick that kinda looks like a ladder for my fairy garden😊
Great video 📹 👍
