We showed our Florida Weave trellis for determinate tomatoes on our last video, and now it’s time to build a trellis for these taller, indeterminate tomatoes. We’ll show you a quick and easy setup for trellising taller tomatoes in your backyard garden.
We’ll go through every piece of the supply list needed and show you a step by step assembly on this hanging string trellis. After installing the tall tomato trellis, we’ll move to another one of our no-till plots and get our peppers planted.

Serrano, orange jalapeno, Jamez pueblo peppers, you have to try Antep Aci Dolma peppers a shot, have become an every year pepper for me , Super sweet with a little bit of heat. The best stuffed peppers ever
I hope your gonna be as impressed with the Edox as i have been. Im a bit ahead and they are absolutely knocking the socks off every other cherry tomato im growing. Blown away with the production and overall vigor! Super long trusses loaded down. Real early variety as well!
I lost all of my san mazaros to a cold day. Gonna get some plugs.
Hey Travis, so I have Fooled you jalapeños and a couple varieties of sweet peppers. Never knew to stake them. Should I do this as well? I have the vertical string trellises on my tomatoes also
It’s called “ the trellis to make you jealous “ I saw it on another YouTube channel. It’s great if you can afford it.
I've used these kinds of trellises for years. Easy to set up, take down and store. I don't use PVC elbows on the ends. I use PVC T's with a little bit longer conduit sticking out each end.
Thanks for being specific on the names of all the parts! I want to do that trellis someday, don't have time this year. And being 72, female and having a bad back isn't helping! I'll be tying my tomato strings to the neighbor's large crepe myrtles behind our back fence (don't tell our neighbor!). lol
Used the tall trellis for years when the garden was much bigger. Now my heirloom indeterminate tomatoes are far apart from each other in heavy cages. The line meathod seemed to spread disease easier in my area. Probably fine for hybrids however.
I used a trellis system like that last year from my son gold tomatoes. Except instead of using conduit I used high tensile electric fence wire for the top. I also used bailing twine for the plant support with tomato clips, but the problem I ran into was the in the beginning the string would not stay stationary in the ground with the steaks I used. So this year I think I'm actually going to venture out and try planting on top of the string maybe tie a stick around it then plant on top of the string and maybe it will hold a little bit better Don't know what I did wrong last year but that's my plan to give it a try this year! I enjoy all of your great videos content as well as information and learning from you keep up the good work neighbor
😂😂 I thought you may have put a bit too much "brute force" into that last t-post and driven it too far in. Glad you told why it was lower. It was messing with me until you explained. 😂😉👍
Flowers!
Put flowers in that extra space. I'm excited to grow some chamomile and cosmos this summer. Also got some ageratum.
Thanks Travis. If it was me, I would lash the conduit and fittings down to the T posts so it can't lift off in strong winds. Use that same kind of twine that you use for the Florida weave. Cheers, Chuck in Jensen Beach FL.
Travis, we use the same conduit trellis system, but I add another row of conduit zip-tied near the bottom of the T-posts. That lets me keep the tomato clip string taught since it's tied at both the top and bottom (no chance of pulling out like a landscape staple might have), and also lets me add Hortanova trellis in parts for other climbing plants. Either way that is the best trellis I've seen and we are on our 3rd year with our components. I use 4' bamboo stakes cut in half to 2' length for my peppers. It provides enough support for the plant when attached with a "tape tool" for the life of the plant (just add more tape loops higher up as it grows). I was surprised to find if I pull the bamboo up at the end of the season, it seems to last multiple years. I have some that is starting it's 4th season. If you have not seen a tape tool, they ware a great thing to have in the garden. Easy to use and makes a trellis or stake connection in about 1/2 second.
Nice. I’ve used T-posts for years now with electric fence wire and twine. I think I like the conduit idea for reuse. Timely video as it’s getting time to think about staking indeterminate tomatoes. Thank you.
Thanks for demonstrating the tomato trellis again. I’m going to try it this year.
Yes! — Ever since Josh Sattin’s video (A Trellis to Make You Jealous) came out (May, 2019), I have been using the T-Post, conduit, and string method for trellising my indeterminate tomatoes. You are correct. It works great. Love it! I also like your improvement with the PVC elbows at each end. Thanks! Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA – 4/29/2023.
I will definitely try this next season, I am tired of building cages and storing them. Thanks for the info.
Great trellis Travis and I use this trellis inside my cat tunnel for peas and works the charm, also for stringing up heaving pepper plants. Great trellis for sure!!!!
Your subs are really growing! So happy to see. I never miss a video, you have taught me so much.
Corn question- I planted my super sweet corn early March. I’m in zone 8b. It is only about 16-18 tall. Doesn’t seem to be shooting up as quick as it should. I have side dressed it a couple times with nitrogen. Maybe I’m not putting out as much fertilizer as I should. The corn is on drip and stays watered well. Any salvaging this corn? What would you suggest? Thanks! Robin in Bergheim, TX

Nice and simple. I always make things too complicated. Thanks
hey Travis were did you get that hoe?
Hey Trav, look up any chemtrails Dawg?
I still prefer cattle panels. Just place them higher off the ground to the top of your t post.
Has anyone tried to use the conduits as the vertical posts instead of the T posts for uniformity? Im gearing up to build mine but im torn on which to use. I want all conduit to make it more visually appealing but worry it will just slowly bury itself deeper over time losing height under the weight.
I've considered making a lil flat wooden "foot" to bury under ground for each vertical pole to prevent that but ive no idea if it'd work. Does anyone have any experience with conduits as vertical posts that can advise me?
I would drill the ends and put a bolt and nut in and it wouldn't fall by accident.
PVC Tees are great! But they are selling around twenty dollars a pc now. I use weave for tomato's and sometimes cucumbers. Great video!
That's a real pretty trellis and it works good. I do something a little different cause my tomatoes get so much taller than this. I use 10' conduit for my uprights. Some of those cherry tomatoes will get to 10' real quick.
Travis I have another question for you.
Grafting. Grafting tomatoes.
Have you ever grafted tomatoes?
Grafting is touted to add vigor to your plant, expanded vegetative growth, uptick in production and it is supposed to give better resistance to disease
Is it difficult to graft tomatoes?
Does the benefit outweigh the added labor?
What root stock or stocks can one use?
.
How about some eggplants in that extra space? Never really hear you say much about them. But a second planting of summer squash does sound good!
