Pictures of your large gardens and espec. TRELLIS
Comments (32)OK, here are some pics of my trellises. This is the main one, which is 3, 4-foot sections with 4 uprights. I drilled all the way through the end 2x4's on one side so the conduit could slip all the way through and the middle 2x4 could go on top. I did have to attach them to each other with a small piece of wood visible behind the conduit to prevent slippage. I conceived of them as something to match the wooden garden fence, and my future arbor and bench. Here is the top: The full length of one side showing where it inserts into the PVC in my raised bed. There are screw eyes in the 2x4s and top edge of the raised bed that the twine is attached to: And here is a 4' long trellis that has 2x2 for the top. It's a lighter weight trellis, which seems to be adequate for beans. If you need something heavy duty, you could go with a larger size of conduit, although that would of course increase the price. It would also be easy to use CRW or cattle panels on this frame for a heavier trellis for melons or squash. Hope that helps!...See Morehemp twine in compost
Comments (15)good idea! As a young chemist I spent a lot of time in University research labs. I watched a number of former associates take the path of what we termed "recreational chemistry", both undergraduate and graduate students. I watched almost all of them end up in prison, and one I knew of ended up being shot and killed in a shootout with state police during a raid. I was approached on more than one occasion to synthesize several of those recreational chemicals. I never went there. I decided a clean life, while probably more boring, had its rewards. But I will joke about it. At my age it's obvious it's a joke....See MoreNew Garden Trellis'
Comments (17)oh, I think pale yellow with white trim would look lovely! I can't believe how much you are getting done! Type III really don't die back to the ground in winter, you just need to hard prune them back. I have been late pruning some years and they are sprouting new growth quite far up the vines. Then I always hate to hard prune! For some reason, some of my clematis are not doing all that well this year. I just keep telling myself that it is early for us and I am expecting too much. Heck the one that I thought had died a few years ago is huge this year. It first started growing from the ground up in July that year!!! I did get some plants today in the big town, but still need a few more. Now the patio is full of pots. Just got home in time to unload and water them before dark....See MoreTwine, a beat to death subject, but a search didn't help.
Comments (17)Check with someone in your area that has a dairy herd. They use twine by the tons and after cutting the bales lose, they often burn the twine to get rid of it. I have friends with milk cows and others in the race horse business that save me strings and I return the favor with a few garden veggies. Win, win situation. My top wire for my pole beans is about 6' off the ground with 2 more wires at the lower levels. I tie the strings on the top wire and just throw a loop around the lower ones. Been working well for me for 50 years. Best pole beans I have found are Dr. Martin. Good green Lima and good when they dry out. In the fall, I use hedge clippers to cut the main bean stalk at each wire, then pile them up and burn them or if it's wet, I haul them to the woods....See More- 5 years agolast modified: 5 years ago
