Wonder if you could dual purpose this? Thinking about throwing insect netting over the frame or shade cloth late in the summer

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

@@TheTamrock2007that would definitely work. I hadn’t thought of that. Great idea.

I bought a $30 arched trellis from Amazon and attached netting to the back of it.. I have runner beans and cucumbers growing up the side of the arch, then I put netting across the back and grew peas on that and then more runner beans after the peas were done. So far it is working great.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

Nice! I never believed in the netting until I used it myself. It’s really strong.

[@becky3086]

@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a Well, I went looking for wire but it was $60 and the netting was only $5 so I tried it, so far so good.

[@elphaer]

For my vinyl fence we use over the door hooks from the dollar store and put two or three per panel. Use trellis netting and secure the bottom. I grew peas up it last year. This year im gonna try cucumber too. Easy cleanup too!

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

That’s a great idea. Love the over the door hanger idea.

I have 3 folding wire "A" frame wire trellises that are easy to fold and move I brought them years ago and they are holding up very well. They would also be easy to make using wire fencing just cut 2 panels to the size you want and hinge them together at the top using some wire. They will open as an A frame. I also have several concrete wire ladders that I purchased at Home Depot that I use for arch trellises for $5 each. Its always fun to come up with different trellis ideas to see what works best for your plants. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Happy spring gardening. 😊

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

I love the idea of attaching the wire fencing to the A frame. I’m stealing that idea. Thank you!

Have you ever used your corn plants to grow your dried beans? Plant some of your winter squash amongst them and you've got yourself a three sisters garden.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

Yes! I love that method. I didn’t grow corn this year but I have plans to do it next year

[@jaytoney3007]

I use three different types of trellising. The first is an 8L x 4w x 7H trellis tunnel made with two sections of cattle panel joined together in the middle. The second is two panels made of hog-wire fencing supported with Crape Myrtle branches that is used for snow peas, The last is a six foot long, three foot wide, and three foot tall arched trellis that is made of nine foot long hog-wire sections joined together. It is supported with three Crape Myrtle branches, one on each end, and one in the middle. It spans a 3ft wide, 6ft long raised bed which I use for Hearts of Gold cantaloupe, and Sugar Baby Watermelon.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

It sounds beautiful! Great job 👏

[@Marie-yx5ie]

Thank you so much for that information. 👍😉

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

My pleasure!

[@helenmcclellan452]

I have been using fencing for cucumbers, butternut squash, zucchino rampicante, pole beans, and melons, but not with tomatoes. I wil have to try that method this summer.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

I’m doing it this year and have totally fallen in love with it

[@mistycarter9809]

Great ideas! 👍

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

Glad you like them!

[@MSgt_Boon]

I use all thouse except the the a frame. I would like to try that. Im wondering if the fencing instead of netting would be sturdier I also use the fence with T post to border my garden from chickens like in my videos. I love using the t post for temporary fencing and move it around with my garden needs. So many uses for t post, fencing and zip ties. TIP: when you go to home depot or wherever you buy the fencing there are more often than not damaged rolls from shipping. Ask for discount for damged roll. It is not important if bent etc. i have gotten up to 20 percent off then i add my military discount at home depot for additional 10 percent off. 😉 I do want to make a cattle panel t post arch. Just not sure where i want it yet. Those winter squash, 🤒 😂. I can make jokes with those.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

Haha! I know. They are too funny. We love the HD military discount. It’s so helpful. I’ll check out for bend fencing. That’s a great idea

[@carolync4862]

My favorite is the dried sunflower stalk and I have also used the small obelisk. Thanks for the great ideas.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

The sunflower stalks are so sturdy once they’re dried. It’s crazy!

[@LaRa-youknowit]

I like the sunflower stakes, good idea for a free item

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

And you get to enjoy the pretty blooms of the flowers before you dry them.

@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a Thank you, I actually made a decision that it will be minimal this year because I have to have the other hand done this Fall so will not have the ability during that time to harvest and preserve. However, I just purchased a greenhouse so I will be jumping. right in early March next year! I just watched many of your videos and they are very inspiring! Happy Monday😊

Heath comes first. Meanwhile you can do the ultimate planning and get a bunch of fun inspiration from videos and pictures. The garden will always be there once you are better 💚

[@KK-FL]

I had a free delivery from Tractor Supply so I used it for cattle panels! I mean they’re 16’ long! I’m going to cut one into 4’ sections and use zip ties to make 2 A-frames out of them. I have also used various limbs and skinny trunks as support stakes.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

Thank you so much for sharing. It's been expensive to buy trellis materials after buying soil, raised bed, etc.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

That’s so true. I used a lot of the free options my first few years then started adding a new one each year.

[@wisteria4981]

Thank You for a wonderful and comprehensive video on all types of styles of trellis’s❤

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

[@jolenef.9548]

Question about the A frame- do you plant on the inside of the frame or outside? And do you plant at the base of both sides? I did cattle panel arches between my Vego garden beds. I might try an a frame in my small side yard bed. Also, I assume nothing grows on the inside in the shade of the trellising plants? Sorry so many questions 😂

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

I plant on both the outside and inside. Both work. I plant all along the base of both sides. If you have very heavy vining plants on both sides, the middle will be shaded but normally I grow something heavy vines on one side and something lighter on the other (like tomatoes) then I can grow beans in the center. For my peas, I planted them from one side to the other, including the middle and they climbed each other until they were tall enough to reach the netting and they did great.

[@jolenef.9548]

@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a Thanks Petrina! You're always so helpful ;)

[@maryspringer1442]

@@jolenef.9548 you can always grow something like lettuce that would love the shade in the center too! radishes onions etc..use up the space in the middle while everything else is vining up

Thank you so much for this video. Great timing as I was just about to buy a trellis. I like the A frame for my 8 x 4 raised bed in fact the one you recommended 😊 maybe a silly question but on each side of my bed I have a variety of beans, cucumbers & Seminole pumpkin. Then eggplant, tomatoes, peppers and leafy veggies (I’m rushing to harvest) inside of raised bed. I’m in 10a FL. Would I be able to access them having the A seem to take up some space?

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

Yes. I have the same situation going on too. I just reach my hand through the netting. If you have big hands, it might be a little harder.

[@susanpayne5592]

I'm 5 feet tall and weigh 100 pounds. I have attempted to use the post driver with the 6 feet tall T Posts by myself. I don't recommend! The driver is extremely heavy! You will hurt yourself....or lose your religion much to the shock of any neighbors within earshot. Get assistance.

[@HomegrownFloridaZ9a]

🤣🤣🤣 I know how you felt! I enlisted my husband

[@MSgt_Boon]

How you use it on 6 ft poles. Put driver on t-post then raise post. Or get a stool or ladder. Or get a man! Really no need for 6ft post unless for cattle or horses though

[@tinabloomfield7228]

They come in different weights. I've had the same issues
