Step-by-step instructions for how to make a willow obelisk for climbing plants. These are natural growing supports for plants such as peas, sweet peas, or beans that you can weave together from willow switches or another bendy wood. You can use them as a bean teepee, a sweet pea wigwam, or to grow many other climbing plants. They're also perfect for that cottage garden look and are practical, eco-friendly, and inexpensive to make. Instructions include showing how to weave the three-rod wale.

Each time I enjoy one of your post, I think of how wonderfully peaceful the Isle of Man is. Dreaming of our retirement home! Perhaps one day.

I would love seeing these in my garden, veg and climbing flowers. I'll have to go foraging to get materials, sounds like a nice afternoon outside to me =^)

Absolutely! You could try other types of bendy wood and vines too

@Lovelygreens 2 года назад

Yes, it will work perfectly with hazel too :) I was also thinking that it could also be made with any old uprights and freshly cut bamboo. I have a clump in the front garden that needs cutting down so might try it.

For the upper bands, couldnt you make a second round template to tie below the band you are working on to serve as a secind person to hold up the first row of the band. Once the band is started, you can untie the template and move it up to where you will start the next upper band.

@janenewley6539 2 года назад

May I suggest a different way of starting the uprights. If you stick your uprights into the lawn in a circle of whatever size you want… you can then continue as you describe. Lawns at this time of year are usually soft enough to stick in 6 inches about enough. Also if you soak your willow for weaving beforehand it is more pliable. You can always stand on a box to tie the top if you cannot reach…jnxy

@FortviewFarm 2 года назад

I did this last year. I used willow that had been cut a few months beforehand so it wouldn't root and It was extremely sturdy. I didn't do any particular weave, it looks so much better using a proper weave. I'm excited to do a new improved version

@Lovelygreens 2 года назад

The pros of working from a bucket are being able to work inside if you wish (many people who watch still have snow), having a perfect circle pattern ready to go, and being able to make obelisks to fit a specific container for container gardening. If you weave in the ground with fresh willow make sure to remove the bark off the areas that go in the ground. They can sprout and grow. No need to soak fresh willow either -- you only do that for dried willow to make it more pliable.

@iartistdotme 2 года назад

No willow but lots of bamboo and grape vines. Think the bamboo would work for the stand up pieces and grapevines for the weaving? These are just lovely and I really would like to make some. Thanks so much! I'm thinking that the bamboo would rot quickly in our moist soil (Florida) so would binding them to metal stakes help?

@Lovelygreens 2 года назад

I think that would work great!

Hello Tanya Lovely Greens . Loving your Willow Obelisks, Careful though girl with your eyes, That sharp willow flicking about, Put some safety glasses on :) Also when you had the stems in your bucket. Couldnt you just climb on a pair of steps and cut the thinner end of the willow to straiten the stems. Just Saying . Hahahaha Luv ya Byee :)

@barbsmyth2697 2 года назад

@Gtagmonk 2 года назад

where do you source Willow sticks on the Isle of Man ? I don't have room to grow but would love to make these. Thank you.

@Lovelygreens 2 года назад

Private landowners mainly. It's best to grow your own if you can (an allotment, for example) and if not, ask around to see if you could source it from friends.

@mechellevegeta 2 года назад

Great post about crafts, brilliant. Will you be posting about your bees when the weather gets warmer? Also, would you consider getting chickens? I like posts like that.

@vnickcolvin4971 2 года назад

We do not have willow here in Florida, could you suggest another material?

@Lovelygreens 2 года назад

Bamboo perhaps?

@ksero1000 6 месяцев назад

This might be a silly question? But will deer eat these supports? I use metal ones to cage young trees from deer browse but despite how quickly they rust, bend and break... they're not cheap. I guess if I wrap some chicken wire or mesh around them,.deer might abort the mission, even if they would eat the supports. 🤔☺️

@Lovelygreens 6 месяцев назад

I'm not sure since we don't have deer on our little island. I imagine not, though, since cut willow isn't alive - it's just sticks. I don't think any animal would try eating willow creations unless it was bored or starving.

@dianamullins5079 2 года назад

Beautiful. Do you think these could be made with thin bamboo? I think they are worth a try. I grow bamboo in the Pacific N W.

@Lovelygreens 2 года назад

I think so! It's pretty flexible when freshly cut and could dry hard and rigid. Let me know if you try?

Tie the top before the willows go in the bucket and it will be equal/level

@Lovelygreens 2 года назад

You need to know how many will fit in the bucket first. And if you tie them before trimming then then the legs will all be unequal and affect the weaving as they slide down the bucket.

@rose-qo3iy 2 года назад

Hello, I have been watching your videos and notice you have the new zealand flatworm I have found the Australian Flatworm and I am very upset and see you do have life in the garden after flatworms arrive. Have you have any advice? Are you still finding earthworms after doing no dig please? Have your worms made a comeback? thank you

@Lovelygreens 2 года назад

I have flatworms at the allotment and there are more worms than before. At least one per bed now 🙈 It's not great, but it doesn't seem to affect harvests/yields. Mulch hangs around longer on the soil too and cardboard doesn't break fown as easily in the ground. My best advice to you is to keep a sealed tub filled with salt in the garden. When you find a flatworm or its eggs put it inside. Look for them regularly under stones and planters. Keep clutter out of the garden since they'll find habitat under anything sat on the soil.
