Which of these no cost/low cost trellis are you going to build? Thanks for gardening with us! -CaliKim & CameraGuy

[@Mr.Wonderful-ny9dn]

The A-frame trellis is best for me; thanks.

[@mikeconklin1567]

I volunteer at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens and our zoo has 35 species of Bamboo. They require removal and I take home 20-30 foot sections and cut to length for my veggie garden. Free of charge. They are great as plant stakes, trellis supports and fence posts to keep my dogs from getting into trouble.

[@CaliKim29]

That is awesome! I absolute LOVE when things like that happen. Well...if you are ever in So. Cal and have some Bamboo with you..... Welcome to my channel Mike, GREAT to have you along and thank you. CK

[@julvwildcat190]

That's awesome. It's a great idea and you're reusing the bamboo instead of them ending up in a landfill or compost bin.

[@mcgritty8842]

My area has bamboo-like plants growing in the woods. So I’m going grab the dead ones (which are very study) and use them as stakes :)

[@santaanaroadwildman3614]

I like the rustic look of the tree branch trellises. I used the ladder mesh from the masonry dept! Also the cattle panel supported by 2 metal fence posts + zip ties (foam pool noodles from $1 halved and placed on ends to prevent getting scratched)

[@CaliKim29]

Ahhh, Noodles, GREAT idea...talk about repurposing! Kim

[@GardenHappy]

I agree with you about using natural branches. Some vines like clematis prefer to grow on natural wood instead of metal or other materials, people use for trellises. So you have an excellent point, and reason for preferring this material. Liz

[@jusleens]

@santaanaroadwildman3614 could you share what store you found the ladder mesh? I’ve looked everywhere no luck 😭😭

[@jusleens]

Could you share what store the ladder mesh was available at? I haven’t had any luck

[@thomashanick572]

Very nice job and idea

[@tangocat4370]

Missing your garden tours and harvest. Also Morning garden walks ❤

[@CaliKim29]

Me, too. Not much has been happening for a garden Tour..it has been a while! Awww, the Morning Garden Walks.....I need to pepper one of those in line up - THANK YOU for being with me for so long!!!! Made my day. CaliKim

You always have such clever ideas in the garden. I have learned so much from you over the years, so thank you again for another wonderful video.❤️👍🥰Liz in California

So nice of you, Liz in California *wink wink Always so encouraging your comments are to me! CK

A frame and the chicken wire also for fennel Frost date April 20 and my fennel's getting ready to out. - excellent tip just in time Fantastic ideas as always! Thank You Kim!

Yay! Thank you and I hope that you have subscribed and are following along, Alex! CK

[@julvwildcat190]

There were all great ideas. I love how your nasturtiums look; they look incredible in your garden.

[@CaliKim29]

Thanks so much! 😊 They are satisfying to look at, thats for sure. Do you have any? CK

[@julvwildcat190]

@@CaliKim29 I don't. I tried growing them once but I think I had the wrong timing. They grew into a small plant and died. I started them late spring. I live in Nor Cal. I may need to start a late fall planting to be successful.

[@CaliKim29]

That's alright....it happens, right? Keep it growing up there! CK

[@roxanngibbs7522]

I love your nasturtiums.

[@CaliKim29]

Thank you, Roxann, they are pretty to eat and look at. Have you eaten one ever? Thanks for watching - CaliKim

[@lorrainedurgee1761]

Great video on trellises -the 4 pole trellis for bigger veggies or plants is a great idea - just staple .. thanks.

[@CaliKim29]

You bet! And the staples are holding just fine thus far! CaliKim. Thanks, Lorraine!

[@Fred.pSonic]

The natural weathered look of the wood combined with the hemp rope is what brings your garden all together, I'm inspired. Even the metal trellis attachments are well thought out, I'll try that ladder mesh. It all looks great and makes me wonder what flowers are in the hopper. Cali-Kim/CameraGuy great video, great garden.

[@CaliKim29]

Always good hearing from Fred.pSonic!!! Thank you for following these past 2 years and being so encouraging- CK/CG/Mac the garden dog.

[@GardenHappy]

I agree with SantaanaWildman. I do prefer the natural material because some vines, like clematis prefer to grow on natural wood rather than cattle panel or metal materials. I am LOVING this video! ❤️🥰👍🧡Liz in California

[@CaliKim29]

Yes, @santaanaroadwildman3614 knows his stuff!!! You both bring up valid points! Thank you, both. CK

[@GardenHappy]

Oh my GOD your nasturtiums!!!! every year they are a showstopper and never disappoint!!! 🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡Liz in california

[@CaliKim29]

Thank you, I am grateful for them, they are pretty to the landscape and good to eat, on pizzas, in beverages, too... Have you ever done that with nasturtiums? K

[@sproutingemily]

@CaliKim29 What kind of beverages?

[@CaliKim29]

Watch this video, I make 3 drinks in it . How to Harvest/Prune Mint & What to Do With All That Mint?🌱

[@sproutingemily]

@CaliKim29 Will do - thanks so much!

[@vee5032]

I been collecting sunflower stalks, they are also make good trellis or just support for some plants 🪴 ❤ hello Mac 🐾

[@CaliKim29]

Yes they do - they are just nice to have around --- CameraGu reminds I have stuff all around....

[@debbiealexander184]

I have already done the teepee trellises a couple times.

[@CaliKim29]

That's fantastic, Debbie!! Nice job...CK

[@ChristinesBackyardGarden]

I purchased some ladder mesh from Lowes today to use in one of my raised beds to support some cucumbers. I'm not sure how sturdy it will be in my garden. I'm in zone 8b Georgia, and the lake winds are horrible this time of year. I just had my greenhosue demolished by some strong lake affect wimds yesterday, so I'm not sure how the trelis will hold up on the next round of winds. Fingers crossed. 🤞

[@CaliKim29]

Yikes, I'm sorry to hear about the greenhouse.. i wish I could come over and help you rebuild. Please keep us posted - Kim

[@RDubdo]

I do believe that unless you put some guy stays on that 3 pole trellis it will be in jeopardy of blowing over with the first gust of wind just like my tomato trellis did.

[@CaliKim29]

Ohhhh, good point! So far so good on our end, however, your point is noted! Thank you so much for sharing. CaliKim

[@truthseeker3967]

Do you have a link for that little green roll of sticky tie tape?? I looked through your links and I did not see it? What is the name of that product?

[@lieseambrose3461]

Good Afternoon from Tucson.. I have a question and totally off your video subject...I have tiny mushrooms sprouting up in my corn sprouts containers???? Is that good or bad.?? 🤔🌽⚘️

[@CaliKim29]

It might suggest that your soil or growing medium is rich in organic matter, which is beneficial for plant growth. Fungi like mushrooms often thrive in nutrient-rich environments. Beneficial Fungi: Some types of mushrooms are beneficial for plant growth. Harmful Fungi: On the other hand, certain mushrooms could be harmful to your corn sprouts. Air Circulation: Proper air circulation around your corn sprouts can help prevent the buildup of moisture and discourage mushroom growth. Identification: If possible, try to identify the type of mushrooms growing in your containers. This can help determine whether they're beneficial or harmful. Removal: If you're concerned about the mushrooms, you can carefully remove them from the soil. Be sure to wear gloves, as some mushrooms can be toxic or irritating to the skin. Hope this helps!!! Keep us posted! CK

[@lieseambrose3461]

@CaliKim29 ..Thank You So Very Much!! ❤️🤍💙⚘️🪴

If you paint the chicken wire it becomes invisible

[@CaliKim29]

OMGosh...BRILLIANT! Never even thought of that? I'm embarrassed to ask, but here it goes....is there a specific color...or do you mean you try to match the color to the wood it's on? Thank you, Maria!!! CK
