One of the best ways to increase productivity in a kitchen garden is to use the vertical whenever possible. This video not only features simple trellises and other plant support ideas, but also how to use guttering and also create extra propagation space in polytunnels. Happy growing!

Love this. I have got so many ideas from it. Off to find things to make vertical frames. Thank you Huw. 😊
Thanks for the excellent ideas Hugh!!!
Love the ideas.
Fantastic ideas that I will be incorporating. I love the fact that a lot of them are temporary and utilising the things we often already have. Thanks 🎉
I have tried three guards last season for my peas, but the weight of the pea plants really deformed them.
What size is your bamboo?
Thank you.
Sliding the transplants from the gutter into the beds is fantastic!
Just saw your bird calling video from 11 years ago and to see your latest video you older and real editing. Looks like you kept it up, cool stuff
good video. These are good ideas. At the same time, it is a good reminder that majority of their viewers live in the city and have a small yard and no greenhouse. The ones with big land already know most stuff anyway and will not be spending that much time on these kind of videos.
Thank you so much for the amazing content!
Brilliant. We'll be repurposing an old crib for vertical trellis growing this year. Ingenuity goes a long way gardening.
Really good ideas
Thanks from Holland

Great ideas! I am using quite a few of these type of trellises in my small garden, but the gutters are an amazing idea! I am stealing that one 😂
I've been sowing peas in gutters for a number of years. I suspend them from strings in the greenhouse roof to keep mice from scoffing them until they are a few inches high. Top tip water the gutter well beforehand helps them to slide into the trench.
Fabulous, as always, Huw! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Just in time to save me. This year is my second attempt at gardening. I was starting to sweat about what's going to happen when my peas, cucumbers, and tomatoes get big. I really like the bamboo sticks + tree guard idea. That seems achievable for me. I also like using jute twine. I need simple stuff that doesn't require building skills! I built a raised bed out of lumber which is useable, but full of mistakes (possibly caused partly by uneven lumber, so maybe not all my fault?). I was all set to follow Huw's book Veg in One Bed, but got too busy and ended up practically throwing seeds randomly into the bed, whatever I had, because it was getting so late in the spring. I'm very triggered by beginning new things I'm not already good at! I guess gardening is a good way for me to work on that. 🙂
Can you grow squash upwards?
Perfect timing, the string I tied for my peas isn’t working too well
