[@joeystaab7595]

Im sorry for your loss, not to sound exclusive, only us who have had Yorkies know how special they are ,crazy little dogs but will always put a smile on your face

[@Highlander.7]

Dude Tuck is an OG. I am really glad to see this channel flourish. I remember watching year 2 food forest updates when hardly any such thing was on YT. Much love and blessings brother

[@kevinlaughery9552]

Your older bed you might want to replace the top board that holds the string rollers. I was using a 2x 12 as my top runner and after 4 years the weight of my tomato plants snapped the board in 2. This really sucked mid summer it was so hard to re do this when the plants weigh so much. Hopefully you do not have to go through this. Most of my plants didn't recover completely

Do you reuse these clips, or are they done after one season?

[@Sparkysings2]

@@yxcvmk you can use them over if they don’t break

[@NicoleFitnessYouTube]

James you are the BEST gardening expert I’ve ever watched! You are INSPIRING and so full of LIFE! We enjoy you so much! And we adore Tuck! If you ever offer tours of your food forest we’d fly up to “Jersey” just to see it in person! Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge! ❤ to Tuck!

Doesn’t matter what we do here. So many squirrels, the worlds best farmer. They pretty much take over our crop and have it for themselves.

Just ordered these clips and rollers. So stoked for this growing season.

[@AZCWoods]

Time to make a nicer trellis this week for my tomatoes. Thank you & Tuck, the amazing Garden Guardian.🌱

[@ethantreto4315]

Tuck is a trooper, even tho it’s hot he makes himself comfortable by diggin his hole. Mine dog does the same thing when I’m in the garden for hours .. gotta have mama best friend by your side

[@MC-zr6gc]

So simple that it's legit genius.

[@marvinpybus4599]

Tuck reminds me of our Yorkie, Teddy. He passed away after 17 1/2 years of love and loyalty. Give Tuck a chin scratch from Marvin and Marie. We enjoy your videos and tips.

Hey Tuck.. Those clips are a great idea. The line holder is a great idea too. Glad you showed it to us

New subscriber, I've been watching for a few weeks and love the content. I only live a few minutes from you so your gardening timing and advise couldn't be any better

[@stevefromthegarden1135]

Your tomato trellis is quite nice. I just got a pack of 300 clips a few days ago

[@brianburton1843]

Keep it cool Tuk.

[@mssavedin92]

I just ordered the clips and hooks off amazon. Thankyou. Great idea.

[@joytotheworld2100]

Great idea. Beautiful design. I'm on a fixed budget. I took the bench out of the adult swing I had. Used the frame & added garden netting for the tomatoes to climb. 4 years and still going great. Cost $10.50.

[@lifeisgood9175]

I'm using my old metal gazebo in the same way. It works and I love it! Cheers!

[@reader649]

James you are a person of many talents!. You can tell that you are very good at detailed observation/ almost like a scientist, plus you are a meticulous carpenter and have keen engineering and efficiency skills that inform your gardening techniques. I know studying permaculture adds to those skills. Love seeing Tuck and you every time you post. Thanks so much! :)

[@virginiaseedsskogen2038]

Totally, agree!

[@reader649]

@@virginiaseedsskogen2038 Thanks ! :)

[@Eric-gi9kg]

I learned about this style of trellising a 1 1/2 years ago from another youtuber. Though I much prefer the roller version and how you secure the end/soil attachment. Seriously love those clips, And they Seriously cheap.

[@punaforager]

Wow holy crap those beefsteak tomatoes looked amazing. It was fun to watch your tips! Looks clean.

[@Lolchik28]

Thank you for the advice 👍👍so many of my tomatoes were just tipping over and destroying my ring trellises

[@helicart]

Really smart. This makes so much sense, and fits with what I know about commercial growing techniques.

[@tanagreiner6906]

Can do a video on which plants work best growing next to each other. Hopefully you know what I’m talking about. Thx

[@paulkiefer3893]

I want to try the hook and wicket technique for my outdoor garden.

[@NennawsGarden]

I love how you explained this! Your gardens are amazing!

[@emilybh6255]

Charles Dowding says to bury the string next to the seedling roots when you transplant each seedling.

[@jamesprigioni]

I had done that before, but the anchor seems to work best for me personally.

[@elterago]

Идея с клипсами для крепления интересная. Будем пробовать альтернативные способы из подручных средств. В прошлом году я придумал использовать зажимы воздушных шаров для быстрого крепежа шнуров к кольям.

[@matthewreynolds2384]

So few people know that the clips are supposed to hold onto the trellis string! Good work James!

[@singhasrabani573]

I'm always watching your video . your videos are awesome man. love from india 🥰

[@tsminnal]

I live in Canada and I can't start gardening without first watching your video. You put soo much hype and energy into us. Thank you

[@creativcat]

I just got my Guardian of the garden sweatshirt! I love it…I will upload a pic tomorrow when I am in the garden with it. Please give Tuck a hug from me, and tell him thank you for being here for us. Keep up the great content, I am on my 2 nd year of gardening and I am struggling but I learn something new every day from you…thank you! ❤

[@magiccookie22]

Growing traditional tomatoes this year at my mom's house, but really looking forward to growing tomatoes like this when I get my own place! I love the aesthetics of this, and it's effective too. Fingers crossed for a good growing season

[@smas3256]

Plants love the attention. Feel the love. It's all about vibrations we get and give.

[@Andy-le8xy]

Thank you for the many good and informative videos and for the links below. Take care!

[@susiefitzsimmons1147]

Hi James! I love following along with you. Those tomato clips look like the ones I used on my grape vines. THEY DID NOT LAST ONE YEAR! They must not have been UV resistant and after a few months became brittle and started breaking. When I tried to remove them they would break and crumble. I hope the ones you have are better than the ones I had!

[@bballerforever]

The clear plastic clips don’t last more than a season or two. The clips that are brown-red are much sturdier.

[@sonnyamoran7383]

Love to see Tuck. My 2 garden guards are very old. One is deaf, Neena, the other deaf and blind, Rommy. Makes me sad to think about not having them here. I will create a special place for them in my garden one day.

[@marley9904]

😢😢😢, I know the feeling of having a blind dog, it breaks my heart 💔.

[@sonnyamoran7383]

And someone made the comment, "I guess it's probably time." Can you believe it? I'm old, my heart isn't as good, but it still feels, my back isn't good, but I still work hard, .........just because they can't see or hear, I still love them and they love me. Some people!!!

[@mosesmerlin8882]

Oh, dear James, you and Tuck are so wonderful. There are other youtuber gardeners that I like to learn from, as well. But, you have such a lovely spirit that it's a special joy to watch and learn from you. Thank you.

Love your channel! When I grow my indeterminant toms they always fruit much lower on the plant. They eventually grow over 7 feet, but so late in the season that they aren't flowering as much.

Back around 1979 or 1980, I was hired to work in a professional greenhouse where they grew hydroponic tomatoes. They had a similar system. Nice to see professional stuff spreading into the backyard/homegrown community.

[@GrowYourHomesteadWithAngie]

Thank you for showing this up-close. We use cattle panels and wind the tomatoes in and out of the panels and trim lots off the bottom. We did 45 plants last year 😮

Thanks for showing videos of the leaning process. I have not seen it anywhere online and was so confused about what it's suppose to look like.
