First off thank you for taking the time to share. I recently widowed. I am 57. My late husband would always help me. Your videos show me how to do things by myself. Your ideas are amazing. Again It gives me a little hope about being alone now.

You are such a good teacher, James. I love how you show every step of the process and explain so clearly. Great job!

I'm so grateful for the inspiration you're giving in these videos. Its really helping me to keep going in my garden, this year I've had so many fails, but I'm determined to learn from my mistakes. Thanks again, much appreciated

Your channel is my favorite. It is where I go when I have questions about gardening. I am new to veggie gardening ( I have been flower gardening for years) and I have four raised beds with plans to expand it next year. Thank you for your down to earth advise and I love your enthusiasm.

You inspired me to grow my own garden 2 years now. I love how you explain things. Much love to the cutie Tuck my kids love watching him eat in the garden

This is my first year using a trellis for tomatoes and cucumbers. I like your design and enjoy watching your videos. Our Dachshund Belle loves cucumbers like Tuck does. Stay healthy and safe my friend.

James you are simply amazing, your step by step tutorials, from constructing raised beds to walking the viewer thru your garden of Eden is so entertaining. thank you

Never in my days have i seen such simplicity in a wood/twine trellis, VERY VERY NICE. IM GOING TO TRY IT.

What an inspiration! I am 12 years old and because of watching your channel for a year or so I will start a food forest in my backyard lawn in October. ❤Tuck and James! I may start my own channel soon!

I always tell myself one day I will have a garden as beautiful as yours! I absolutely love how your garden looks. Always enjoy watching your videos and gain so much information from them. Thank you for sharing your garden with us!

I think the best part of these videos is the intro - that hype energy ! WASSUP GROWERS! incredible work James...

Just with the start of the video and saying "Whats going on growers" with that jump just like the rest of your videos makes me watch it and learn!!!! Keep on and greetings from Chile!

Man your passion and positive energy is so damn contagious! I started my first raised bed this year, and not only did I get great ideas for managing that, but also the inspiration to plant a ton of perennials everything from Honeycrisp Apple Trees to 6 different varieties of Raspberries and Blueberries! I think I've already watched your whole catalog of videos so it's especially exciting when I see you've uploaded something new! Thank you for everything James!

Hi to Tuck and James from Melbourne, Australia! Love this video! Super helpful!

Wood trellis looks great! I went with EMT conduit trellises because theres no maintenance and they easily last over a decade. They're not bad looking, but not as pretty as wood. I've got trellises all over the backyard, with ~20 tomato varieties on them.

Thank you, Mr. Prignioni. I always enjoy your videos and truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge and information. I am especially grateful in these chaotic and unsure days... thank you for bringing me some love and peace❤❤❤✌✌✌

Great design. Your honesty about not being perfect is really inspiring.

Love the little dog in the background. Walking happily without a care in the world

By far the best gardening channel on KZread. On almost all of the videos there are at least 5-10 people in the comments talking about how you inspired them to start a garden. If that isn't a sign of great content -- and a great gardener -- then I don't know what is.

This is amazing. Thank you so much James. I am making this for my garden next week!!!!

Nicely done James!! It is so great to have your videos back!!

I made the exact same trellis EXCEPT rather than wood across the top I used a piece of 1/2 " conduit pipe ($3.35 Lowe's) which is much lighter and aerodynamic for the wind. I drilled 1/2 " holes on the tops of the side pieces and slid the pipe in. Easy peasy. Also easy to disassemble if you don't want to look at it all winter. L❤VE watching you.

I do basically the same thing but I use a piece of 1/2" conduit along the bottom of the row of plants to tie the cord to and screw it down to my raised bed instead of tying it to the base of the tomato plant. That way there is less stress on the stem when there are heavy winds.

@jamesprigioni Epic gardener on KZread....I believe I seen them bury the string under the tomato. Just another idea. Do you still use this method of trellis

So creative, straightforward and beautifully done!! Thank you for teaching me how to do this.

I love the way you just get right into the video and always stay focused through out. Without all the chit chat that has nothing to do with what your talking about. Thank You for the very informative video.

Great video james. Your channel is fun to watch because you are about a month ahead of my food forest up here in Canada.

Nice work! Tomato heaven coming soon. A little tip: when predrilling, setting the drill to hammer mode will speed up drilling the wood, and keeps the bit from building up as much heat. Also, backing out the bit maybe halfway through the drilling process to empty some of the drilled wood will keep the bit from getting jammed up as much and once again reduce the amount of heat buildup. Heat buildup is one of the primary reason that a bit will dull quickly.

I bought 2in by 2in 8 ft long pieces from Lowe's. 1 nail on top of each end of cross piece drilled 18 in holes in ground and set them in, had a 2&1/4th inch auger. They lasted 12 years plus with 1 bye's for cross pieces tied to ends. Never treated the wood but stored inside for winters.

How timely! We were just trying to figure out how to trellis our tomatoes! Thank you for all the great ideas! Also, love that you grow to share. We are planning to do that too.

Your videos are brilliant mate. Clear instruction, clear voice, clear view.

Just a side note, a square galvanized nailing plate is easier, stronger and will resist racking better that that 90° bracket in the corner. A TP35 ($.93) from Home Depot. And gives you some holes for guy strings if you need em. I like your idea, gonna do that this spring.

@eharris7893

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tip. We made one of these. We tried 4" corner braces per the video, and they were pretty useless. The whole thing just bent and twisted, and the extra screw thru the top split the wood, even with predrilling. So we disassembled the brace and screw and purchased 4 Simpson Strong Ties (model TP15) and secured them with 7/8" galvanized roofing nails on both sides. Worked perfectly. Just adjusted the ones on the back by about 1/4" so no need to worry about nails coming in at same spot on each side. Installed some fencing stakes at the end of each row and secured the trellis to each fence post with 2 stainless steel hose clamps. Trellis is super solid. Home Depot wouldn't cut any wood lengthwise, so used 3 each 2" x 3" x 8' boards. Had to search to get straight pieces. After attaching the plates to the front side, you will need a helper to turn the unit over so it doesn't bend the plates until the plates are attached on the back side. End result looks really nice. Would probably be easier just to drive some taller fence posts into each end and attach an electrical conduit pipe across the top like some other gardening videos show, but that doesn't look as nice and I didn't want to have a giant lightening rod in my garden.

Not bad man,good start,might end up doin the trellis this yr,hoping for mass production again,75 litres canned tomatoes and salsa last yr,hopefully same or better,cheers buds

This is exactly what I have been looking for. I have tried fence posts & cages. It's always a complete mess by August. I have a 4x10 raised bed with two rows of staggered plants. This is going to be perfect. Great job.

Great minds think alike. I also build a tomato trellis just like yours last month using spare lumber of 2x4x8. Great system I love it so far. The only difference is that I used mason nylon twine and planted the tomato plants on top of the twine. Now need to tie around the plant that way and you can pull some slack from the bottom as the plant grow. Love watching your videos and keep sharing your gift with us.

Smart! I think you'll want crossbeams up top some day soon with untreated wood.

Be careful with tying around the base, you can easily strangle the stem when it gets fat later in summer. It's better to put a small stick / stake in the ground by the plant and tie to that

When transplanting, drop the bottom end of the rope in the bottom of the transplant hole. Only issue with that method, is if a strong wind catches the rope or something pulls on it, it might give at the roots before it gives at the top of the trellis, depending on method of attachment. Thank you for this video.

Great work. Your energy is contagious!

If your lumber yard/box box will cut the lumber for you (or let you do it) buy at least a 16' board. The mills will typically use straighter lumber for longer pieces. Also, if you're going to rip it liked this make sure that's the grain is straight too. If you open uneven grain then you run the risk of it beginning to warp.

Hey James! I noticed that you’re likely using regular boiled linseed oil that you can find on the hardware store shelf. I just wanted to let you know that there are actually a ton of chemical hardeners in it that may defeat your aim of not using pressure treated lumber. When I was researching linseed oil for my woodworking a while back, I was really surprised to hear that Linseed oil really isn’t all that much oil at all. Just a bunch of chemicals. There is a brand called “Tried and True” that has pure linseed oil and beeswax mixed together. It’s all natural and would probably achieve your goal a lot better. Anyway, I’ve been enjoying your content! Thanks for all the info. I’m excited to plan my garden for next year.

Jan Matthiesen - I haven’t seen it at the grocery store, though I think that flaxseed oil is technically the same thing. If you did do that, you would need other additives to allow it to be a good finish (like beeswax). When looking at the hardware store, only a select few brands, if any, will actually be linseed oil. The rest are not *really* boiled linseed oil - which is really misleading. “Tried and True” makes a good version that is pure linseed oil and beeswax. It is non-toxic and natural. Your better off ordering online or getting at a local woodworking store.
