@emkn1479 19 дней назад

I do pretty much the same. We have the garden enclosed in deer fencing and I’m making it pull double duty as a tomato trellis. Great air flow, for sure. It’s thin enough wire that I can also use the tomato clips, which has seriously saved my sanity when trying to wrangle the stems.

@ceecee-thetransplantedgardener 24 дня назад

I love the single string method so much. Small backyard, limited space, blah, blah ... It allows me to plant more densely and try new varieties while I continue to grow my main-stays. But, like you, I will let 2/3 even 4 vines grow for maximum yields. The other advantage, is if I decide I want to remove a plant (for whatever reason) - I can let the neighboring plants bush out more and not lose overall production. For me, it's the only way to fly.

@jacquesinthegarden 24 дня назад

That's a great point on culling and allowing them to take over in their place!

@pederw4900 24 дня назад

Great video! We use a Florida weave on our farm, about 100 foot beds with tomatoes on both sides. It’s very unruly (especially with the cherries), takes a long time to keep everything tidy, but the yield makes all the difference. Great method. If I were gardening a small plot for myself though that net method seems like exactly the way to go, super easy to work with once it’s set up and plenty of tomatoes for one person to have a nightly bruschetta from July to September

We went to cattle panel trellis's this year, and so far, they're working wonderfully. Similar to your net weaving (3rd choice). Only drawback is I'm monitoring growth almost daily, because the training is a little tricky working growing stems up though rigid openings, whereas moving netting would be easier. Thanks Jacques

@johndesrocher4289 23 дня назад

I've tried everything but the string method, and I hands down prefer my netting trellis. Everything is cut to the perfect size, I can just take it down with the fence posts at the end of the year, carefully wrap it up, and store for the winter. Key word is "carefully". A combination of string and clips keeps everything fairly neat and tidy, although I let some plants get a little wild near the top of them this year, just to see how it all works out. So far, it's been a great year for toms as well as cukes!

@jacquesinthegarden 11 дней назад

Oh yeah the hardest part is keeping the net organized for sure!

@smas3256 24 дня назад

Jacques. Florida weave done with 3 T-posts for 5 tomato plants. Tied extra string to support stems side to side. We have 3 groups for eating and canning. New England. A storm traveling 45 mph across the country and our trees were bending and waving. Thank God we did not lose any. Extra work but worth it. Thanks for sharing to show everyone how to.

@jacquesinthegarden 11 дней назад

That's awesome to hear and glad you didn't lose anything!

@courtneycullen6289 23 дня назад

I am a complete fail at efficient trellising this year. Some of the plants in my tomato forest have 4 stakes, one of which is 8 feet tall. They loo like espaliered fruit trees. I will put in t-posts this winter for tomatoes and dahlias. I really didn't plan on making an absolutely giant tomato forest in an old bed that has been fallow and under cardboard for over a year. But, while perhaps unwieldy and expensive (8 ft stakes are an investment!), it works. My cherries just started and I have a few slicers ripening. It's the best time of the year!

@jacquesinthegarden 11 дней назад

Haha the classic tomato forest, my first year was a collection of random branches random straight looking pieces of wood and metal from all over the yard. But we got a huge harvest held together by twine and sticks!

@Donna_G 24 дня назад

That was really informative. I mostly just use stakes. My bed is considered to be ADA compliant. It's like a raised bed; but, on legs instead of on the ground. I'd like to try some of the other trellis options; but, I'm not sure which would work the best. I would still need to reach the top level of tomatoes.

@jacquesinthegarden 24 дня назад

I would highly recommend you look into the "dwarf tomato project" there are just over 100 tomato varieties that have been bred to cap out around 4-5 feet. That means you can use a simple stake or cage without compromise. The tomatoes are fully flavored and full size and produce abundantly!

@Gardeningchristine 23 дня назад

Someone had donated 6 6ft by 1ft by 1ft coated metal square tomato cages to my local thrift store. They were going to scrap them because they didn’t know what they were, but I asked about them and they just let me have them! It was probably $250 4 years ago.

@jacquesinthegarden 11 дней назад

Wow that wild and great find!

@dottydee4107 23 дня назад

Hi Jacques, Thanks so much!!! I only have determinates this year due to space issues. Have a small deck of a boat that can get crowded - but I have previously grown several indeterminates all together and did not have many problems and had a great yield. I like your advice, will consider your compostable option, but not sure it will work. Will think about it for next year. This year has left me with a plethora of disease issues due to too much rain, too much cloud and too cool temps, oh, and ducks, coots and moorhens thinking I am preparing nests for them🤨. It's been a bad year😔😭😔😭😔😭😔😭😔😭😪😪😪😪😪😢😢😢😢

@jacquesinthegarden 11 дней назад

Oof cloudy cold years are terrible, always sets everything back. I highly encourage you to check out the dwarf tomato project. Those tomatoes are indeterminate and make.full size tomatoes but the plants are dwarf and never get over 4-5 feet! Victory seeds carry the widest selection

@poodledaddles1091 24 дня назад

I don’t like storing the tomato cages, I’m loving the netting this year.

@jacquesinthegarden 24 дня назад

All of the ones I showed in this video come apart in 2 pieces and fold flat ! But I agree, the net is fantastic

@51rwyatt 24 дня назад

I love the Florida weave but I think a huge downside is early on in the season you have to bend over pretty hard to complete the string rows and it's bad on the back. Back-friendly trellis methods I'm def gonna pay more attention to in the future.

@jacquesinthegarden 24 дня назад

That is a valid one but as a counter point they already have a solution! You run string through a piece of pipe and tension it with your thumb so that you can wrap all your plants without bending over. You can find examples on RU-vid as it is common practice on farms!

@lsherylc2524 19 дней назад

@Murzington 24 дня назад

Florida weave seems really similar to trellising for grapes and cane berries. Now I'm wondering if you can set up a more permanent trellis system like those and use the twine and clips to keep things off the ground and organized. 🤔🤔

@jacquesinthegarden 11 дней назад

You definitely can do something like that with tomatoes!

@FrozEnbyWolf150 25 дней назад

How long would the netting last? Do you know what materials would be best to make a net, and how to DIY? I've ended up making makeshift nets that end up looking like spider webs, for things like angled luffa, but I never considered using it for the tomatoes.

@jacquesinthegarden 25 дней назад

I haven't made one myself but you could easily purchase a spool of jute twine and weave a custom one! I've had the same net for 2 years without issue

I'm very happy with it, the only downside I've experienced is that it is a scratchy material which can lead to more disease in theory.

@amber4417 22 дня назад

I'll admit that I'm a pretty hands off gardener once they're out from under the grow lights and in the ground. I use a bamboo stake and don't prune (so my garden looks a little unruly) but the tomatoes are producing, so I must be doing something right?!

@AlexGomez-ds9xq 24 дня назад

Florida weave is my go to! It can be annoying when your tomato’s aren’t the same height but overall works great. Pro tip for people with weak hands - invest in a post driver. I would try to hammer the posts in the past and the vibrations would hurt my hands.

@jacquesinthegarden 24 дня назад

And in case anyone else was wondering like me...there are places that rent stuff like that! Granted, I don't know how much it costs, but if you only have a small yard and don't plan to use it much, it's a great alternative to buying one and then having to find a place to store it!

@brianmoore4299 25 дней назад

You have so many toms that I can't believe you eat all of them. Do you preserve them or give them away? I give my extras, (plenty) away to neighbors. In fact I have my garden in the front yard accessible to them and encourage them to help themselves. They've all got the misconception that I'm very generous. They don't seem to grasp that they are helping me by taking them. I can never eat all I grow. I do like to pickle a bunch of my cucumbers. I have had so many this year that a couple neighbors pickled some of my extras also.😅. Love❤ your channel. You do a fantastic job demonstrating and explaining your message.

So I do my best to eat them all but my family is also fully addicted to tomatoes. Last weekend I had a little summer party and each person left with 2-5 big tomatoes!
