Thanks for breaking down the techniques and the costs.
*Trellis Ideas (I used for small winter squash and melons in my raised beds)
Take 2 strong tomato cages set a few feet apart.
Lay stakes or bamboo across each level of the tomato cages and tie with twine. ={}==={}=
OR
Lay bamboo across your ladder mesh for peas. (=)
Thank you. Excellent tips 🙏🙏🙏
yes thanks
Thanks for all the information 😊
As long as you're fastening to a frame, you can just drill a hole through the PVC and attach it with a screw. Works for both wood or metal frames.
Hub use a bigger PVC( all we had at the time) he bended with something I don't know what it's call i think a torch lol and put a curtain to protect our Rose's from direct Sunlight. It worked well and look pretty. We live in Phx it's still hot here. Thank you!
Gary your ways of making tunnels and trellises sounds great but what If your on a fixed income and can't afford to build anything like that. do you have any other Ideas
Excellent options and explanations as always!
Does the chlorine used to produce PVC leach into ground/food?
