How to Make Inexpensive/Free Trellises for Your Vegetable Garden: Basic Materials, Tools & Designs

Growing vertically saves you space and it doesn't have to be expensive. Here is how I make my trellises & plant stakes inexpensively and sometimes for free. I go over costs, materials, designs and the tools needed to build the trellises. Trellises and stakes are perfect for cucumbers, beans, melons, peas, peppers and tomatoes.

One suggestion - cut away from the hand that holds the stock, not toward it. Anyway I’ve learned tons from you this year and my tomatoes and peppers are doing great thanks to watching you back in February!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

You are right. Normally I stand over and cut away. But the camera put me there on that angle and I went the lazy route. Thanks. Didn't even notice till you all pointed it out.

Another great vid!! I am fortunate to be living on property with lots of growing bamboo. I cut a bunch of them a few months ago to make room for my gardens. Just this weekend I trimmed the branches off those dry, cut bamboos and used them to stake some plants. I love that I can leave little stumps off the trimmed branches. I use those small stumps to help me secure the twine. I find that my hands are not strong enough to tie twine tight enough onto flat sticks. Also thanks for sharing your tool suggestions. I did not know those ratchet cutters and "saw saws" existed and I can really use them!! I'll be clicking on your links to purchase them. I watch tons of gardening vids and I always get excited when I learn something new. Your vids are particularly stellar!!! Thank you for your service to humanity.

Please DO NOT make freehand cuts as demonstrated ~6:00, ESPECIALLY NOT with your support hand in front of the blade. You can make this cut more safely if you point the tip of the stake away from you, and push the saw AWAY from your support hand. But the safest method is to properly secure the workpiece - lay it on a workbench or on some scrap timbers on the ground. Shortcuts are not worth lost fingers.

Hi Gary, I try to watch every one of your videos! So informative. A problem...I have 6 trays of seedlings, mostly indeterminate tomatoes. I planted the March 16th. Under lights.

Excellent content, as usual. I'm using your suggestions to build a trellis from bush branches. But one suggestion, especially for folks on a budget: I'd use a cheaper pruning saw (I spent under $20 for a nice folding saw) than a Sawzall (about $150). The pruning saw is convenient, easy to use, and I keep it in my pocket while pruning. The Sawzall is heavy and is a pain if the battery dies. I've used a Sawzall only once in yard work-as a chainsaw replacement for a damaged tree with an 8-10'' diameter trunk.

Being a first year gardener I was very surprised and a bit frustrated on how much trellising I had to do. Even after buying Hog Panel And Several T-Stakes. I had stuff trellising along the north side of my fences but the deer found they could reach their tongue in and pull off the vines. So being at the end of my budget here is what I found. Douglas fir Bows are fantastic and free for trellis tomatoes they are 10-12 feet long. Once you pull off all the leaves they curve slightly which is nice because as the tomatoes grow they will grow up and away from the middle opening air flow. BTW Friskar Loppers work great up to 3.5 inch diameter. BAMBOO POLES....got a bunch from a junk man. Work great for beans NOT so great for peas as they cant latch on to the smooth surface. IF you want to use them on peas you have to tie them. Also old PVC pipe good for just about anything. You can also put pots at the bottom of your deck and use the rail supports as a trellis. I am growing my cherry tomatoes that way. I keep checking my junk shops for those fridge shelves I want some of them. Thanks for another great video.

I used some raw materials like this in the garden a few years ago. It worked great but everyone gave me crap about it. They said it was tacky. I thought it was resourceful. It's nice to see someone else doing it!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Hey, I've made huge mistakes (first week gardening before looking at youtube) I've bought and started growing broccoli, melon, water melon. Carrots, pumpkin , lettuce, corn, green beans and squash. Yes it is a lot ;( Anyways I have 1,2,3 and a 5 gallon pots and 1 3 gallon bag as well. What are your thoughts on all this stuff and what can I continue to grow in these? There is still time to transfer stuff I have only been growing since 7-7-18 please help me :)

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

So you have a lot going on but clearly hae seed starting down. Might be too hot for broccoli.Lettuce in 1 or 2 gallon potsGreen beans in 3 gallon pots or larger Melons, watermelon, squash and pumpkin really need like 7 gallon pots but 5 gallon and regular feeding and water can work.Carrots need depth Good luckShop on Amazon and Support The Rusted Garden for Free: Anything you purchase gives a % return back to TRG.

My trellises are all old box springs with the fabric taken off. People give those away constantly.

Do you need to be concerned about ruining the roots when sticking in the trellis?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Nope just stay about 6 inches from main stem Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More

Thanks

[@micahringlein]

I noticed that you had some chicken wire at the base of one bean trellis. Is that to deter rabbits? How is it that you don't have more of your garden fenced up away from birds and rabbits? I ask because we have very curious critters.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Exactly. Good eye. They eat the new sprouts if the sneak into my yard. No losses this year! I have a fence around the perimeter with bottom chicken wired. Birds only take my blueberries and raspberries and might peck a few tomatoes on hot hot days.The discount code THERUSTEDGARDEN is now working of Cates Site.

[@funmom9889]

I am very close to your zone was wondering when do you start your winter garden seeds ?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Actually putting peas in now as they take 75 days. I might be a little bit early but, minus leafy greens, you can start over the next couple weeks.Shop on Amazon and Support The Rusted Garden for Free: Anything you purchase gives a % return back to The Rusted Garden amzn.to/2ttyray Thanks for using my link.

[@drurymassey]

Gary, your garden is amazing. I love all of your ideas for trellises I’m thinking of using some old mattress frames for some. For the first year, I’m using corn to grow my pole beans on. I’ve heard that it works well. Some day I hope to garden as well as you.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Thanks. I think the mattress frames would look cool. Corn and beans go together well.The discount code THERUSTEDGARDEN is now working of Cates Site.
