To celebrate the release of this MUCH-REQUESTED video, I'll be in the comments section today live from 3-4pm EST answering questions. Check in and give me a shout out! ❤
Aww, thought this was Live
I'm sure you're going to have a great harvest 👍
Yes there is an easier way for someone experienced with a circular saw or jig saw. You cut lines to the depth of the slot. Then use a mallet and chisel to carve out the thin pieces of wood that are left. Another saw that could be used is a band saw with some extra support for the long Timbers.
Your trellis looks amazing! How did you learn to use the power tools? Do you build things for a living? You should make a business doing this. I hope you have a great day! Nice to see you back.
I love them and the color is fantastic choice.
Love Love Love! I love everything about everything about this. You motivated me to put 7 row of vertical garden trelisses in my front yard! My neighbors all loved it! It uses up half my front yard. I have showed so many people what you have done! I love how nice and neat they look. The black was a new look to me. Love it! Your video is powerful. This will be my 2nd year vertical gardening in my front yard. I'm also a new gardener. It was amazing to see my vegetable actually grow. This year I want to increase the amount of everything. This video is wonderful.
What kind of trellis do you have? What do you wish you could change about it? And most importantly WHAT COLOR IS IT?! 🤩
Thank you for this video.
How did you get that above shot of the yard? You have a drone?? So cool!!
This is awesome to watch. Your garden is one of our inspirations in starting our own edible garden and YT channel.
Thanks so much for this video-full of wonderful info-totally love your trellis.
I'm moderately obsessed with the all-black fixtures in your garden and am seriously inspired. I'll be going through your videos and saving a bunch for when I get my own yard! Thank you for the very helpful how-to!
🌼🌻🐝☀️🌺👨🌾🌸🌺🫑🐇
Wow your garden is Such a great inspiration to me as I am just starting garden season where I live. I can see you put a lot of work and love into growing! All the hard work it worth it to me to get to see the new growth everyday brings me so much joy! It’s the start of my 3 year gardening but there is still so much to learn and I appreciate your tips, tricks and advice! I look forward to learning more from each other as we grow!
This is a great video. Thanks for sharing. Next – I'd love to see your plan for controlling water and irrigation to all your beds.
I saw you planting in the ground. Do you have really good dirt there or do you use potting soil?
Oh how awesome this video was. I think I could do this now. Thank you so much for this information.
"I'm cool because my trellises are cool" needs to be on a T-Shirt☺️😂
You rock! this trellis system is BRILLIANT ! You had me at first glance, but then to see how it's not just absolutely gorgeous, but then you explain how functional it is ( can remove the top beam or even the whole set up>weave the net instead of hooks, etc.) it is just pure genius! I like the black and love how all your beds, trellises and even fence are all painted the same for congruency as well as fabulous contrast to all the green. The ONLY thing I would change for my own personal taste, is to paint bronze/Jacobean brown- instead of black. We have used Jacobean brown before and at first it seemed intense, but as foliage grew, it was an awesome color. Very similar to your black, but perhaps just an ooch less intense or a tad more of a "naturally occurring color" (think the color of wet tree bark or wet soil). Fabulous video, and so inspiring! 👏👏👏…oh, and as much as I love the netting, I have become a huge fan of using cattle panel for trellising and would probably go with something like that for it's strength, permanence and even more importantly for the environmental & health reasons: to reduce the use of plastic in the garden (especially in soil used for edibles).
…been very conscious of microplastic contamination in the soil this year after watching videos of how destructive it is to our bodies and then finding a lot of it in my own soil after some greenhouse plastic photo-degraded and and caused a million tiny pieces of plastic to fall onto my soil 😲😬😬😣 … Thank you so much for sharing this video. I have bookmarked it for future reference & for sharing with friends
Did you lose a lot of YouTube videos? I just started following you, and I'd swear you had a lot more videos. I really enjoy them and how you explain everything so well.
Love, love your trallies! Thank you
So amazing dan i love it ….will try in my garden..thank you so much with your great idea
Hi! I love your front yard inspiring trellises. Please continue your videos, they are fantastic.
Thank you for making this video – awesome trellises! Appreciate your time. These will be beautiful for privacy vines we're planting next season. The height is great and I love that the post spikes allow them to be moved, if needed.
Very happy to hear they'll hold up to hurricanes! (6:25) We live in the TX Panhandle, so we sometimes have windy days with 50 mph sustained winds plus higher gusts.
I'm cool because my trellises are cool- I love it
Hands down the easiest way to connect a cross beam is by pocket screw. Kerguelen makes many different pocket screw jigs & it works perfectly. It also saves all the time & effort of cutting in a notch.
For anyone looking to build the matching (black! 🤩) raised beds, here's the tutorial—https://youtu.be/SAzAovC2fqY. And my matching blackberry trellises are here—https://youtu.be/EzRlNg8nMLk. Now's a great time to get all the infrastructure set up before the planting rush starts! Happy Spring!!
i live in a windy spot & thinking about if i should use the netting that you use or a thicker metal like a cattle panel. I've heard people talk about the netting being better because it "gives". Would that netting hold up heavier fruit like melons or squash?
Wow! I can see why everyone lives this video!! I’m so glad I discovered your channel!! I’m looking forward to watching your other videos!! Thank you!! Loved your presentation style & focus shots!
