[@kathleentate1712]

[@ayymenalsabahi5440]

Can you healp me, I don't know why my peas don't grow and i bought them in a store you can grow the jackpot beans

[@CandiPrettyface]

thanks kim

[@robertsablan3758]

I learned that you can upcycle and recycle wood bamboo and old fences and dry plants

[@tracieyoung4129]

This made me think out of the box. My cousin was getting ready to throw an old wooden ladder away, I snagged it and weaved twine up and down the steps.. now praying for a delightful snow pea harvest.

[@Sammiecakes21]

I learned that vertical gardening is a fun way to repurpose things. It gets my creative juices flowing, and it gives me a joyful feeling watching what I can produce in a vertical garden. This is a great way to expand and watch my ideas blossom. Excited to start. Thanks

[@deannanarvais5784]

Wow! How awesome it is to upcycle different materials you have laying around and incorporating them in the garden. Who would have thought using the ideas that you have shown for a trellis! Making gardening easy, fun and beautiful. Learning something new everytime I watch your videos. Thanks.

[@deannasmith3612]

Hi Calikim , I'm so glad I watched this video this morning, yesterday I removed some hollyhock stalks and I was going to just cut them up today now I have some stakes for my garden thanks to you. I love your series and been watching about 3 years.

[@patrickreynolds801]

Calikim My girls and I are giving it our first try this year. Seeing your videos and ideas have help me not to be afraid. This video taught me that I've got what I need right here at home to make trellis from recycled material. Your encouragement helps me get my mind thinking and it turns out fun. Thanks Patrick

[@MPOULL]

I really liked the intermix of plants and the "no fuss" trellis options. Thank you for your bright optimistic presentation!

[@CaliKim29]

You are welcome!

[@joeski552]

I learned that you can plant seeds along with seedlings in your containers and have vegetables at different stages of development. This is new to me.

[@poupard1000]

The most valuable thing I learned from you today is basically to "think outside the box" as far as ideas for trellises. Sometimes I forget that I can be creative in the garden. It's much more interesting that way!

[@pookyin06]

I learn after I found u CaliKim last year not to be afraid to try planting in pots and to try new seeds. And I thank you for that you have opened my mind to new things in the garden.

[@aliceben-harush5285]

I wanted to start with just saying how much I enjoy your videos! I especially love the small space garden series now that I have a small space of my own. I may have said this before, but you are actually the reason why I will be starting my very first garden in a few weeks, so thanks for the inspiration! One thing I learned is to go ahead and put the trellis in BEFORE your plants, so you don't disturb the root system. Also, a great idea about going to the thrift store to see if there is anything I can use!! Thanks again for your videos and the opportunity to be in your drawing!

[@stevepemberton1273]

I really learned how to get more creative with my small garden space by using stuff I already have around the house to make a trellis with. Thank you for the great ideas.

[@twinturntable]

Today I learned, that I have a lot of great options to start a sturdy and attractive trellis.

[@karenleonard9206]

I have just in the last couple of years started gardening after watching your videos. You make it look fun and I've learned so much!! Thank you!!

[@stenniewatts3663]

Absolutely love the idea of re-using, repurposing, upcycling, revamping....however you choose to define your projects, its the thrill of the hunt.. Thanks for the insight, and teaching us ways to use what we may already have laying around. Inexpensive, and keeps stuff from ending up in the trash. Saving the Earth, one plant at a time.

[@patjinx60]

I learned that there are so many things that can be used as a garden trellis. I love love bamboo poles. We have an endless supply of bamboo on the back of our neighbors farm!

[@jackie36555]

What I learn from the video is that I could use my tree branches. And boy do I have a bunch of them due to all the snow storms we received. Trellis here I come. Thank you 😊

[@gracieladuarte1267]

I loved the idea of using old tree branches for trellises. Reusing old tomato cages and old garden tools is great! Thanks for all the great tips!

[@joedog1357]

We love gardening and can't wait to get our smart pots to plant your-small space seeds and maximize our production vertically!!!

[@BrettCrystal]

I enjoyed hearing about your various trellis ideas, without buying anything extra.

[@teresacreamer7385]

Hello Kim. I have learned that you can use just about anything as a trellis. Recycle shelving, old rustic garden tools, tree branches for a woody outdoor look. All these ideals are fabulous. I also learned that you should succession plant, that way you can get a harvest at different times. I want to also thank you for all these great videos. I am really learning a lot.

[@vmperkins9168]

I love the idea of using old tree branches as trellises. I would have never thought of using them. Side note. I received my smart pots and worm casting and tea and in a week I have seen a big difference in my small space garden. This is has been by far my most successful small space gardening experience. Thank you for all the gardening tips.

[@aidanmccormack5443]

It never really occurred to me that so many different materials could be up-cycled or recycled into trellises!! I have some morning glory vines, as well as some beans that I want to set up with some trellises sometime soon, and now I have a ton more ideas! Can't wait till the next episode! Thanks!

[@jrohanla2948]

Hi Kim, I really love the idea of trellising to use the vertical space to double or triple your growing area and define the space in your small space garden. Just use your imagination! Thank you.

[@bethanysworld6789]

I never thought of using old garden tools. I like that look.

[@downwithdeb]

You are amazing! I learned that you should plant your trellis before you plant so you don't disturb your roots. Thanks for all you do.

[@LC-gg5bm]

Hi Kim! I love the idea of using old tools and tree clippings for a trellis. I would never have been so industrious! Love it.

[@elainenewman5281]

I love the idea of using old garden tools for the plants to grow up.

[@PJHAWL]

I was on my way out the door to the thrift store when this video popped up! Can't wait to see what I can find to use in my small space garden! I learned that I need to fertilize the containers more often. Thank you!

[@tw333ti]

This video couldn't have come at a better time! My tomato and bean plants are growing and need more support! Thanks for all the ideas they will definitely be put to use!! 😊

[@markgrissom]

I love the idea to check 2nd hand stores to find garden supplies and fun items for trellising! What a cute idea with the shovels!

[@smallwondergarden9407]

This series has inspired me add a lot more plants to my patio area even though I have an area in my yard of raised beds. Not only will my old patio look nicer but I hope to have a surplus of veggies to donate to local food pantries. Great tip with the old garden tools a trellis,that would have never occurred to me!

[@remoj7591]

Hi Kim. I love your videos, I’m a beginner gardener, I’m growing my food this year for the first time, inspired by you and following all of your tips and methods.

[@ericmuenks2079]

I learned about new and creative ways to grow vertically. I fully intend to apply some of these tips as I prepare my new summer garden space.

[@patricianunez4025]

Thank you for teaching us what soil and trellis we can use in our small spaces. I never thought of using old garden tools.

[@ohshann1]

I love the idea of using sticks and branches for your trellises, and the dried sunflower stalk is awesome. I always learn so much from you and get great ideas, i can't wait to get my babies in the pots. Thank you Kim. 🙂

[@paulettebrown571]

I love that you can recycle material to make your own trellies...especially the sunflower stalk! thats my favorite and I plan to use that idea! Thanks Calikim

[@leni2937]

I learned that there are many ways to create scaffolding for maximizing your veggies production. You can use dry branches from your trees and make a tepee or use tomato wiring as well as wire fencing. Thank you for all your lessons. I enjoy your program.

[@ladyinthegreengrove1777]

I'm learning a lot about how Smart Pots can help me plant more food on my tiny balcony this summer! Can't wait for the weather to warm up just a bit more where I am so I can plant my cucumbers outside. I like that you were able to plant three to a 20-gallon pot, and great idea about adding seeds as well to keep the harvest going! Thanks for your videos.

[@doylepiper6735]

I learned you can grow a whole lot of food in a small amount of space, especially cucumbers on a deck - who would have thought! Also, researching which plants grow best in a condensed area. I learned Smart Pots are the way to go due to the aeration of the fabric to allow air to freely flow in and out of the soil. I learned the different ways to substitute for trellises. Hog fencing, branches around the yard, dollar store items, anything that will allow the plants to grow vertically!!! And most important - R-E-C-Y-C-L-E - Love it!!

[@joannavillasenor1880]

I learned a little more about what can be used as a trellis. I love your videos. I have gardened for quite a few years. But have learned so much more by watching your videos!

[@Santa2010]

I learned to think outside the box with trellis ideas. I loved your garden shovels and can’t wait to see how they look as they grow up.

[@tammyfreeman6417]

Great ideas on using items around the house as stakes instead of spending a lot of money on ones from the store. Thanks a bunch!

[@sawinn1]

Great idea. I never thought about upcycling old Sunflower stalks as trellis material. It certainly is sturdy enough!

[@annamaddux5075]

I learned so many creative options for trellises. I always thought all climbing plants needed more structure than just some stakes and now know it's simpler than that for many veggies.

[@irinai5257]

I really liked the idea of using old garden tools as trellises!! Definitely going to try that. Thanks Kim!

[@just251000]

I learned to get creative, use what you have available to you! Almost anything can work as a trellis!

[@darbymakanesi4022]

Wow, I never thought to use old garden tools as a trelis. That is going to look so nice as the plants start growing up. Love that look!

[@philipwinters2297]

A great idea to use some trellis to grow vertically, saving space and increasing production of veggies.

[@kaseyhulton3185]

I didnt know you could plant transplants and seeds in the same container. Thats amazing. Thanks so much!

[@judylee7391]

Love the various trellis ideas: bamboo poles, garden branches, etc. No need to buy any stakes.

[@lindawitherby5070]

Thanks for the opportunity to win a SmartPot! I learned quite a bit about trellising this time through. Thanks for the video; looking forward to the next one.

[@ElPasoRealEstateExpert]

I learned that trellis materials such as shelving, can be found at thrift stores! Another GREAT tip I saw was to buy wreath holders at after Christmas sales to collect the water at the bottom of containers, BRILLIANT! Thanks!

[@arianneo4359]

This video really made me think of cheap, sustainable ideas for trellises and support structures! I have some branches and old wood trimmings I will be using soon. Thanks, Kim!!

[@emelroberts757]

Hi Calikim, I'm tuning in regularly for your advice on gardening. I'm trying to figure out how to grow lettuce in warm to hot weather. I'm enjoying this series on small gardens. What a great idea to use branches and old garden tools for a trellis. Now that you've given me some inspiration I'm heading out to my small garden to get started. Thanks for sharing.

[@becksbitofblue]

I learned that we can use an fabric pot. Actually very clever for quick easy gardening anywhere.

[@MrRickHerron]

There’s way more than just one idea that I learned from you. But I would’ve never thought to make trellises and put them in pots. Very good idea!

[@melissarose996]

Loved all the non traditional trellising ideas, old shelving and garden tools! Love it!!

[@Alpha-oz6we]

Your video has given me yet another reason to go find some yard/garage sale treasures!!

[@srt13amanditas]

I learned how to use old stalks and branches, I love that idea, gives the garden a really nice rustic look.

[@Artc1042]

I learned about using old garden equipment, shovels, rakes, etc., as a cool looking trellis! Thanks for the idea!

[@deboz8793]

Great ideas on the different types of trellis materials to use and not necessary to buy new every time. And wouldn’t have thought of using old garden tools. Loving this series. 😁❤️

[@skittles9970]

Wow! I learned a lot from this video! I am going on a scavenger hunt for items to use as trellises! I think an old ladder would look good as a trellis! Thank you, CaliKim!

[@buzzybgardens4405]

I love the recycling of garden tools for a trellis. I love to use different things like an old step stool or iron screen door.

[@CandiPrettyface]

I have a patio garden CaliKim! Thanks so much for the video. I really learned so much in this video. I Know now that those old tools I have hanging around can become a trellis. I also learned that my old shelves can also be a trellis. Ive been collecting sticks but I learned that i can tie 1 more and make it look like a tomato cage. There was so much information in this video. Im so thankful for u...... CaliKim your the best

[@tamaracook5896]

I learned I could dry out large sunflower stalks and reusing them to make a trellis, great idea!

[@Huntray1]

I learned you can double or triple your space with vertical gardening, and it makes every thing look more neat and nice.

[@kristabiediger1125]

I am planting a sunflower for the first time this year for my kids. I think using its stalk when it’s done is brilliant! I also like the cattle panel idea. Very sturdy.

[@reoch83]

I learned that I can use branched and old plant stocks for climbing plants. I love it. Thank you for the great videos

[@tracysmith506]

Hi CaliKim! I love your videos, they have really helped me with container gardening. Today I learned that you can use many different items for trellising , and it doesn't have to cost a fortune! Thanks for another great tip!

[@CamiWins]

I made my husband sit down and watch your series with me so he can see how I'd like to set up our apartment balcony. We have a very small apartment balcony but I'm determined to grow some veggies this year! Last year I was only able to plant herbs and all of my vegetables died (I'm in California btw) . After watching your videos and doing more research, I realized that I have to grow plants that can withstand partial shade. The seeds you've selected for your small space collection are PERFECT for my small (and partly shady) space! Luckily, one spot in the corner of the balcony gets 6 hours of direct sunlight, so I can plant the Tiny Tim's there! :) I can't wait until we save enough to splurge on some of your smart pots and seeds!

[@sarahzbigniewicz]

I learned that I can plant 3 cucumbers in my 20gal smart pot! I also learned that I don’t have to buy a trellis, I can use a number of old items I have already! I love the idea of growing cucumbers vertically!!😊

[@Reeeeeneeee]

Great video! Now I know how I can use tree branches to create a trellis instead of buying the wire trellis from a store. Thank you for starting this small space series. It helps me a lot with maximizing the space I have while making it look pretty by following your advice

[@annaryan5701]

Hi Calikim, very helpful video! I learned that it is smart to install your trellises before you plant as opposed to after. And that you can use different kinds of materials to create that perfect fit for your garden space! Enjoyed this video! Keep em coming!👍🌱

[@acebuggers2744]

Using old long handled garden tools as a trellis is creative. I have some broken handles I can stick in the ground for some of my shorter needs; I think it will look super cute. Thanks for that idea!

[@lucyj347]

I learned a new way to use my old garden tools and shelves!!! Let me go shopping in my garage 🏃🏾‍♀️.

[@thomascamden5966]

I learned about being inventive on trellis ideas. I wouldn't have thought to use sunflower seed stalks. That's awesome

[@mparker170]

Hi, I love the natural look of the sunflower stalks and tree branches and will start collecting after storms. Thanks for the great tips!

[@DH-un9el]

Never thought about using old tree limbs. We have a bunch of trees we have cut down and cleared out waiting to haul off.. now I’m going to raid the pile to cut me some branches off since I have learned how to make trellis’s out of them!! Thank you! Great idea!

[@patriciatreadway1337]

Hi Calikim from Az. I’m in zone 10 and I have just about the same things planted. I learned how to recycle and up cycle some things I already have for trellises. I so glad I watched, you gave me so many ideas. Thank you for sharing.

[@ainsley2278]

I learned that you can use things around the house as a trellis . I also learned that you can have a small garden space and still be able to fit a trellis there . 💗💗

[@christinewallin7848]

Cool clever idea to stagger the planting schedule of veggies by planting seeds at the same time you're putting in baby plants!

[@jigp518]

I have never thought about using the vertical railings of the deck. Great idea! Definitely will be using them this summer.

[@tammy9491]

I learned to plant up in a small place. Can't wait to start using this wonderful piece of information in my garden.

[@ChristinaMaki]

I loved the tip about reusing old tree branches! We have a big one hanging over our fence that needs to get cut this week before Kansas’s spring storm season really gets into full swing, so now we have another way to use the wood!

[@haleyscott1391]

Using that old shelving as a trellis. Genius!

[@valeriehalls5128]

I just love your garden and videos. I learned that the heavy dirt i was putting in my pots was suffocating my poor plants. Can’t wait to try smart pots and good dirt!

[@Loves2travel27]

Hi Kim thanks for all you do! I learned how to maximize my garden space by growing vertically too. I really hadn't thought about buying compact versions of plants either to maximize space. Thank you for this.

[@bperales1]

Hi Kim:) I learned that I'm going to use a lot of my husbands' material that is just laying in the property to build my trellis. I'm super excited. I'm growing cucumbers, zucchini, Tomatoes, peppers etc etc 🙂 Thanks to you ! Sending blessings 😊😇

[@jamiezell3979]

I love your trellising ideas! I learned that sunflower stalks can be dried for stakes in my garden. I’m trying this idea! Can’t wait. You can never have to many stakes!

[@Shaktipaj]

Wow! I have to been leery of planting too many items in a single space- good to know I didn't really over do it. I love your wreath keeper saucers- great idea! Thanks Kim!

[@joedog1357]

WOW! I am going to maximize double or triple my veggies I am growing in my smart pots vertically. Thanks Kim for sharing

[@Paperlace319]

This video so fun. I would have never thought Of using old garden tools for trellising. What a great idea.

[@MadamInspired]

I learned how to utilize space to maximize my garden potential for more produce. I will adopt some of your techniques in my garden this season.

[@YoPaulie21]

Coming together nicely! I like how you use a variety of materials and mix plants together creatively. I need to do that more!

[@KJ-sy3gt]

Love the old tree branch idea for a trellis. Affordable and rustic. This is my first year using vermis terra worm tea any casting. Thank you so much for all your help on using this product.

[@achaiagreen8420]

I learned how to make trellis from branches and poles and fencing. Such a cool idea and saves me $$

[@tamarabutterworth8300]

I was worried that I wouldn't have what I would need to trellis but after this I went around the yard looking at items I had stored with the new thought of making trellises. I found old metal shelving, a portion of a cattle panel and even some older yard tools that will be perfect for my cucumbers, squash, beans, peas, cantaloupe and small sized watermelon. Oops also sweet peppers, tomatoes and eggplants. I started the day out thinking I was in need of lots of materials for trellises and after watching this and going through my yard and shed ended up with enough for everything! Thanks so much for all the great ideas!

[@karenhodges7545]

Love the creative ideas. What I learned that I will definitely try is planting plants, then putting seeds in the same pot to get a second harvest. Thanks

[@atrinalmani8426]

I really loved the different trails ideas especially using shovels as a trails.
