    May not be the cheapest but I am a huge supporter of using cattle panel and T post. Atleast when you set it up you never have to buy more netting and it can still be moved around (just not easily)

    If any of you are gardening in raised beds, crop rotation isn’t required as long as you didn’t have disease. Just amend the soil and keep planting those crops.

    Hey man I just wanted to say thank you for keeping your seed prices cheaper than other brands. I can get 2 packs of seed from you for the same price of 1 pack from other companies. Me and my friends have no reason to ever shop from other companies anymore since you released your own products :) Oh and your seeds are great quality.

    Good video-thanks! My t posts aren’t always as tall as I need so we make them taller by attaching a piece of wood to the top. We use spindles from a deck we took down but you could buy wooden stakes or use whatever you have available. You just screw a hook or eye to the top to attach the trellis to. Happy gardening!

I planted pickling cucumbers the other day under the trellis where the chipmunks I’m assuming got all my PC because nothing ever grew so will be using the trellis for the pickling cucumbers.

    Best to use cattle panel,s or some other product that is either permanent or biodegradable. A neighbour made a great trellis from pieces of bamboo tied together in a trellis pattern. Any kind of stick will do. I respect all your wonderful gardening advice Luke, but because of plastic damage all over the planet I feel we gardeners need to use alternatives that don't cause damage. It goes hand in hand with being an organic gardener.

    I use bamboo poles tied together with jute string like teepees with a pole across the top for rows of tomatoes. It gets a little crazy when they get to the top of the trellis, but it’s worked for several years for me. I’m still trying to find wire fencing or something for a sturdy trellis, but I’ve got a thinner one that supports beans and cucumbers pretty well.

    Oh🤦‍♀️ Cottonwood seeds! Bane of my existence! Ours were coming out last month, and it always looks like snow on our yard. I went with cattle panel because I wanted the trellises to last. But if we couldn't have afforded them, this idea is great, since it will last a while. I really like your sense of humor!😂

    My plants got demolished last year so I’m growing parthenocarpic types under cover this year. We have an old patio umbrella without the fabric and I’m covering it in mesh and a mosquito net meant for umbrellas (it has zippers to get in and out). I’m going to trellis the plants from their spot in the ground up to the frame of the open umbrella with extra thin stainless steel cable I have on hand. Really hoping this works.
