He BUILT the BEST Cattle Panel TRELLIS Yet!

[@LLjean-qz7sb]

I am 74yrs and remember getting my Mother Earth News in the mail, reading about Ruth Stout's story and reading Rodale magazines from cover to cover! Those were the days! Also Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew! Did a lot of small garden plots in my neighborhood garden!

[@Latebloomershow]

Wonderful! Great memories!

[@tonyelder]

I'm 73 and have the exact same memories. Mother Earth News - though it is / was a magazine - back in those days in came in the mail in a newspaper format, not today's slick magazine print. I used to love reading through the "Want Ads" in the back. I was a member of the Rodale Book Club, and still have Ruth Stout's book. I practiced the Bio-dynamic French Intensive gardening method - with double dug raised beds.

We're leading parallel lives❤

[@dr.froghopper6711]

Well I’m a youngster at 68 but yeah, me too! I got disabled in the military and my young family needed to eat anyway. Those magazines and books were essential for our survival. The Foxfire books got several reads too!

[@normanthompson4729]

I still have a box full of mother earth news in my shed when I built my root cellar and garden, I dug them out to get Ideas. great magazine.

[@kathycook1815]

By far - your best videos are the ones highlighting Darrel and his gardens. I am a young adult of the 70s and remember pouring over Mother Earth mags too. They are still out there but not quite the same as the 70s versions. A wonderful friend to have indeed. A lot to be learned from him. Truly enjoy him.

[@Sara-od2li]

I saved a really good old Mother Earth News magazine which was jam-packed with information about pests

[@deborahlewis3954]

Love the treepee. I have very old metal clothes posts in my yard that I no longer use. Rather than paying someone to remove them, I was thinking of repurposing them as teepees, for beans and possibly gourds. Darrell needs to do a book on all the ways to use bamboo😊

[@joanies6778]

I string up indeterminate tomatoes inside my cattle panel arch trellis. Cucumbers, squash, or pumpkins could also be planted inside and strung up so you don't waste space.

[@jonisolis9645]

yep, back in the 70-80's Mother Earth News ROCKED!

[@bekind4018]

The only limitations are the ones we put on ourselves. Great video!! Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

[@Latebloomershow]

Yes! Thank you!

[@susanangelo7737]

I made a few arched cattle panels "rooms". I plant inside if hoop. I also covered the arch with 30% shade. Plants love it, as do I. Also, cloth protects from hail which wiped me out 2 years ago.

[@Latebloomershow]

Great idea! I have some extra panels.

[@buckaroobonzai2909]

Lamb's quarters tastes exactly like spinach to me. If you don't have it, I recommend it as a weed. It's also easy to pull out and not terribly invasive. It's probably in my top 10 weeds.

[@Latebloomershow]

I had a huge one come up from seeds I got from Darrell. I let it go to seed and spread them all around my side garden. He said it would be the first thing to come up. I haven't seen a single shoot.

[@marvinbrock960]

You have the sides… now run panels across the top as well.. with a “roof” you can support sun shade and /or a tarp to block rain

[@rickershomesteadahobbyfarm3291]

This is awesome. I can’t wait until my garden turns into something like this. I’m sure it takes a lifetime to come together like this.

[@ellafields9424]

For yrs I've used cattle panels for horse corrals. Saw yrs ago a home stead in SE 🇺🇸 used them for green house frame and arch growing area as well. Endless possibilities. 😊

[@lynn6799]

You could plant lettuce and other shade veggies under the trellis and the tree pee.

[@Latebloomershow]

He does that, but usually it's potatoes.

[@sandi-midnight-mueller6550]

Yep... Mother Earth News, My dad used to get it... I had to wait for my dad to finish reading it before I could. And Good Ole Mel!!! The king of raised bed gardens... I have the Original 1981 copy of the Square Foot Garden book from my dad. Me and dad watched his show on PBS for years. I'm still using the 4 trellised - 4x4 beds my dad built when they moved to the house I am in now!

[@Latebloomershow]

What a legacy! Wonderful!!!

[@gailsgardenherbsmore1605]

I can totally identify with Darrell. In the 70s I loved my Mother Earth magazine and my Countryside magazine (the old original one).

[@LuminousTurtle2029]

Mother Earth News is still one of my favorite magazines!

[@diannedutton6127]

A lovely visit to his garden. So pretty. Thank you for taking us with you.

[@LittleGirlBlu]

I use the arched trellis. I plant snow peas on the outside of the trellis in a box made from pallet wood. Under the inside of the trellis I made boxes and plant cucumbers in them as the peas start to die back in early summer. No wasted space.

[@Latebloomershow]

great idea! Next time!

[@jackiekritzwiser4584]

Love you Kaye. And your new neighbor. Love these old hippies.

[@Latebloomershow]

Thank you! Actually, we met in 2019 when I came back to visit my mother. He and friend Denise were my boots on the ground helping me find a property. Great friends!

[@hetty2974]

Goodmorning there dearest kaye, and my goodness such an interesting and relaxing video with you at Darrell s.so nice to see Pete i again too,,I found it very interesting kaye and once again you did a perfect video, your patience and such useful sensible questions 😀.

Well done kaye,so pleased you have a couple of things to take home and plant,,mmm!the sound of the spring water 💧 made me want to taste, wonderful spoon(ladle) that Darrell has made,I didn't realise there is a white sweet potato 😀. I do love eating the red ones..oh my goodness, I thought that too kaye, he he about Lord of the rings.perfect he he,xxxhope you had some time after filming to sit and have a good catch up too.vdry well done and thsnkyou so much,,just perfect,love hugs and prayers from heather.

[@cristenmahony9357]

Darrell's garden is so much fun to visit ! It's so Beautiful !

[@kathsch8966]

I love his creativity. Is that a pond he built? And he's feeding it from his own spring water? Love it!!! I have to say I saw your friend and his bird house gourds on your channel a while back. It inspired me to build cattle panel arches and I have gourds growing on them now along with a kiwi trellis and a grape trellis. I had bamboo in chgo and I used the stalks for stakes for my plants. But I'm in TN now and I don't have bamboo here - to old to control it now. I love seeing what others do with thier imagination and some elbow grease.

[@heatherbates2052]

Mother Earth magazine started in my home town. I remember going into their office with my mom when I was young.

[@bettyfreckles]

Weigela shrubs are my favorite and I have a few varieties. I wonder if Darrell could give you a hand in building a few of those trellis for you? I heard him say they were the easiest and quickest to make. You certainly have enough space for them. Thank you for another great video.

[@Latebloomershow]

Well you know he has to pack up his mother to come over here and she hast to be comfortable while he would do that so he did come for the bamboo TP trellis but we got a bad wind right after that and it blew down and I never even made the video so it’s hard to get him over here. I may have some more help this week I’m not sure.

great information, I agree with everything you said.

[@Latebloomershow]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sued.530]

Great info on trellises Kaye. I never thought of the disadvantages of the growing space they take up but is something to consider. Love the rock terrace setup on the hills which might be something you could use at your homestead too. Thanks for sharing.

[@Latebloomershow]

Well Darrell has been there I think 28 years and he’s been building those rock terrace walls all this time and I can’t even imagine what it would cost me to hire somebody to do something like that, although I had hoped last year I had hoped that my tomato terraces could that rock walls could be the front bank for those, but that didn’t happen

[@darrellluck7230]

@@Latebloomershow Actually I have been here 21 years, but the new growing beds out front, most of the rock walls, and the pond have all happened since I retired in 2014. If you all knew my plans for rock walls around here, you'd think I was crazy. I'm just getting started!

[@Latebloomershow]

Neither do I, haha! Good luck!! Thanks for watching!

[@jonisolis9645]

I added a long thin bed in the middle of my arched trellis to grow lettuce a bit longer into the heat as the veining plants will give it a bit of shade.

I have had bamboo trellises for 4 years now and this year the bees are making nests in them.... oiii. What do you do when that happens? They can be quite territorial especially in the afternoon. They try to buzz me out of the garden. Please help!

[@dirtywhitehorse]

We have gardened here since78 .I have much in common with Darrel .44years here and gardened in upstate NY,Florida and northern NM for about 10 years and gardened growing up from 6-17 in our family organic garden in the 50s and 60s. about a mile from our place now .My grandparents subscribed to Prevention and Organic Gardening way back then.. that's a total of 64 years. of gardens in 4 states/regions ..my new cattle panels are erected with my asperagus beds beneath the center and tieded to metal tposts on my grape and thornless blackberry trellises up about 3ft . I put a large flower tubs under each trellis to plant in to keep wild rabbits from eating the peas, beans, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes planted to climb them .Everything is mulched except grass paths I mow with a grass catcher to feed my horses almost care free,..

[@Latebloomershow]

Wonderful routine you have come to utilize over decades of experience!

[@acebilbo]

Fun to listen to him. Love Rodale. Miss Bob. Grew up on a farm in Washington state. Mother loved organic. Dad not so much. Graduated HS 67. Have some bamboo to plant. Wish I had more water besides lots of rain. That is what I use to water garden.

[@sheilak6012]

Would cattle panel trellis support wisteria ?

[@Latebloomershow]

Eventually, no, it gets way too big and heavy and then you would have to cut it all out. Never plant wisteria near a building. They require very strong support. You can see mine here in my most seen video, loofa. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIvZgH6dqLWIqNU

[@bwiseok]

Mini gardeners are saying that their seed is not germinating. Only about a third to half of their seeds are viable

[@Latebloomershow]

Are they saying why?

[@bwiseok]

@@Latebloomershow No they’re not saying why. They’re just saying in general their seeds were not all coming up. They were some statements made on Appalachia Homestead KZbin channel. I don’t recall what companies they’re getting the seeds from but in reading briefly through their statements it was seeds in general

[@WhatDadIsUpTo]

This Spring, I'm going to install some horse panel on a portion of my south-facing patio awning roofline, using hinges. I plan on planting Beit Alpha (Israelis) cucumbers, then as the vines set fruit, fold the wall up, forming a canopy, shading the patio from midday sunshine. I would use the pool house roof, except I already have mature peach and apple trees flanking my pool. Before someone thinks this through and realizes it won't work, I should tell everyone, I grow in wicking tubs and these tubs will be sitting on a shelf 7 feet in the air, so the plants' vines will first fall, then as they reach bottom, I plan on folding the wall up into a canopy or roof, with the fruits dangling. Ya, I know. Please feel free to call me crazy. Nothing I haven't already heard my entire life.
