Vegetable Gardening, Building our Cucumber Trellis . #39
In this video I give you guys a baby chick update, also my daughter and wife help me build the garden trellis. We also support the tomatoes using the Florida weave method.
Tony, if I may offer a suggestion, the zip ties normally only last a season before the UV rays zap them, I always wrap some floral wire around the post to fence connections. Usually the UV rays and weight if the crop will pop the zip ties. Some straw on the tomato beds will help with retaining moisture and also work as a weed barrier. The trick to Materโs is consistent moisture, both in amounts and timing. The archway is FANtastic !! Also really a big FAN of teamwork makes the dream work ! Will have to try Chickens one of these days if I can get the land to expand ๐๐๐บ๐ธ I also use the panels to make upright cages for my Materโs, bury 2 rows deep and they make great cages, not the cheap ones they pre make that bend and fall over. Give a couple a try with your extra panelโฆyou might like them. ๐๐
