Do you recommend this contraption 3 years later? Are you still using it? How is it holding up? I'm curious to hear about your experience, would you do anything differently?
Straightforward for a first-time senior citizen gardener. I just paid $89.99 for one wooden trellis last week. I was saving to go back and buy another one next month. Your video has saved the day! The other vertical gardening videos out there are way too complicated for this old lady. Thanks again!
I think it's a great idea. My problem is that my heirloom tomatoes grow over 8' tall. I use T posts with 2x2x8' tall pressure treated with 2x4", 4' tall fencing placed 2' above the ground and a wire on top. Great video.
Nodes..... The round part on the bamboo. That's the word your looking for. It's almost amusing how many "gardeners" that do NOT know the word node.....
Thank you so much for this. I used this idea for my small garden. Just needed 2 posts for my little garden and this was wonderful. Other options are so expensive!
Nice video and nice implements for your operation. Im from SC as well. Very light land where we're at south of ya. 11 years of cover crops in my irrigated garden while it's not spring planting season, has helped raise organic matter some. Its visible after the year's. Takes time but thats farmin
One advantage the stirrup hoe has over the collinear for me, is that you can see where the ends of the hoe are in the soil. I can drop the hoe and actually move at walking speed while dragging the hoe behind me, up and down the sections of the rows. I never need more than my fingertips to do this as the weight of the cutter actually applies all the downward pressure needed. The sides of the hoe can be brought up to the sides of the crop foliage as a visual guide, without accidentally cutting off the plants like I accidentally do with the collinear hoe when using this fast method. I add very long and thin handles to my hoes, and plan on making one that I can angle the hoe for rapid cultivating center rows without adjusting the angles of my arms to keep the hoe over the cultivating area.
I have been using a T post trellis like this for quite a few years, but use 10' T poles across the top instead of conduit. It can handle far more weight and cost about the same as conduit. I recommend using a piece of tie wire between horizontal T poles to prevent accidental falling out of the PVC Ts. The poles are heavy enough to really hurt someone if they fell out.
JOSH, I don't know if you are reading comments these days, but I need to know if you get critters that visit your garden and attack your early seedlings. I HOPE YOU REPLY
Best trellis system I've seen, only difference I will have is "plant velcro"- expensive but worth it as its reusable, I like attaching branches with it
Naked necks are good tasting birds . They also grow fairly fast . I have had chickens most my life . Around 49 years . I have had most breeds I could find and order in that time . I have not had chickens or quail for 5 years . longest time in my life without poultry .
I have a question. I’m growing dinosaur Kale and it’s already bolting right now and then I have a one dinosaur kale that’s not bolting. Should it be OK cause we’re reaching the Summer point
I’m in North Carolina too and red Russian kale grows really good. I like being a subscribe to your page because I am a grower myself and I appreciate and respect what you are presenting right now.
I’m going to design my trellises like this once I get the proper equipment. Right now I have T posts with a 2x4 attached between them at the top, and holes drilled through the 2x4 which I feed the twine through to string up my tomatoes.
I bought mine from Larry 3 years ago and I love it. I highly recommend it. The first year was a little tough because I was using a tiller before that, but this year I barely had to step on it.
Josh Sattin hello buddy. I am a Turkish man, I am watching you from Antalya city of Turkey. This chicken coop really turned out perfect. If I want to build a chicken coop with these dimensions, how many broiler chickens can I put in it? How many horsepower would an ATV be needed to pull this cluster? In your country, does the Ministry of Agriculture have a standard according to how many laying hens and how many broiler chickens can be raised in a mobile chicken farm on 1 square meter of area? If there is, can you write to me? I watched the video of the chicken coop you used before. However, there were no subtitles in that video and I did not speak English. That's why I didn't understand. What were the measurements of that chicken coop? Lütfen o ölçüleri, bana yazarmısınız? Could you please write those measurements to me?
