Thank you for not wasting my time and actually showing me what you are doing rather than talking at me. I appreciate it!
Agreed!
Throughout the years I've grown many award winning produce gardens. Gave away alot of food to my community. Now as an old crippled widower, I receive so much produce from the community and it really brings me happiness with the universe. Neighbors really help me with my flowerbeds and the orchard. I guess the moral of the story is spend our lives helping and giving and the waves of karma come back to help.
Beautiful!!!
Well done and well said. Regards from Denmark 😀
Straight to the point with no jeberish unlike so many videos out there, I like it and your garden is perfect. Thumbs up and will watch more.
Lightning struck one of my T-posts and melted the chicken wire in a near perfect circle and killed every plant including grass in a 10 ft radius. I half way expected a terminator to be set loose.
I kept thinking of entire crops being destroyed, even in his tunnel, due to all the metals. Then again, lots of tornadoes & storms where I'm presently located
13th like HERE. Lol so tired of the numbers games, ESPECIALLY when it has to do with my pitiful and only financial account.
You should try using galvanized t's ,may help ground it!!!
😂
Haha
This is the first video I've seen from your channel. I must say, you have a beautiful garden, and I like your to-the-point teaching style and clear communication. I'll be back for more!
I agree! Clear, concise and helpful!
Me too :) ty
I agree. He almost convinced me to be a market gardener making it sound so easy. Lol
Me 4…I just subscribed!
I'm back. Just want to share a memory about a market garden. When I was 13 years old, in 1953 I got a job with two other 13 year old boys at a truck farm. We did weeding and other chores for 45 c an hour. This farmer had 13 acres and he supported him, his wife, his sons family with three kids. And that summer he had a new brick house built. When I got older and remembered that summer, I thought, not bad for 13 acres.
I just wanna start off saying how gorgeous your garden looks... you don't see no grass, no weeds... Everything in your garden looks so healthy, green, and in a straight line... You can tell you take great pride in the up keep of your garden..... overall awesome video sir
Thank you for the visual teaching. It really helps. I am going to give this a try. I have been scouring you tube for a long time looking for trellis ideas, most are too difficult for me. This I can do, as a 73 year old woman with no mechanical skills!
Me also. He must have known we were watching.🤗🤗💕
Hello first time gardener. I’ve watched many videos on this subject and this is by far the easiest. Thank you so much I will be doing this.
This was exactly what I was looking for...a reusable system, easy to find materials, with multiple purposes! Thanks for sharing!!!
Awesome setup. Try using sisal binder’s twine which is biodegradable, instead of the poly twine. We used to used the poly twine in semi-commercial tomato production, and 50 years later, we still find big piles of discarded poly twine buried in our fields. It is a royal pain in the butt when using cultivator plows.
Thank you looking it up now that was very helpful comment , do yall need any help on the farm. I am trying to find a place to learn grow and work
Josh-- thank you!! clean, affordable, portable and easy to find....i love the sleek quality of your construction. your gardens are beautiful!
You are a FABULOUS teacher for budget conscious gardeners. My expensive trellis building plans for the loofah gourds is being scrapped. Now building your way!
There's a cheaper way: Instead of the PVC tees use a section of pipe 1 1/4 or 1 1/2, whatever will fit over your T posts. Use a hole saw to drill a 1"or 7/8") hole side to side near the top of the conduit. If you use 6" pieces, you get 20 post tops from a 10' length of pipe. That's about $0.70 per post top instead of $4 +. Just fit them over the T post and the conduit will keep it from sliding down the post. You could even use them to extend the top of the post by cutting it longer and putting a stick on top the post inside the pvc pipe.
Good idea!
Can you draw a picture of what you’re talking about?
I made two of these trellis! they are super easy, and sturdy, and we LOVE THEM!!!!
light bulb moment for a gal who does most of the gardening on her own. Thanks for the tip! Be safe Be prepared Be Blessed!
Love your trellising ideas and not repeating yourself like most do.
A Champion Yes! Efficient presentation, and we weren't forced to watch his dog or cat wander around.
I’d recommend that before you pound in the T-stakes, call for utility locating. Very easy to do and it’s typically free. Look up how your state deals with it by searching for “call before you dig”. Usually, calling 811 is a quick way to get a ticket started.
in most states, 811 only looks for main utility lines owned by the city/companies, and for service lines leading directly from the mains to your home... nothing else. nothing behind your house (unless the main's there), not beside your house, nothing you've had installed... just the main line at the street and the service line directly to your house. If you're not out in front of your house, you're generally gtg (not to mention, those lines are required to be buried with over 24" of cover (more in places that freeze in the winter), so putting a T post 8-12" in the ground isn't going to be a problem.
If you are on Ag land, utility companies are required to place the lines deep in the subsoil (usually over 36"), to protect them from tillage equipment (yes, subsoilers can go over 24" deep sometimes).
Source: we just ran gas, water, and electric service to the pole barn/greenhouse behind the house, called up 811 and got laughed at because I was wanting them to make sure I wasn't going to hit anything beyond the main and service line. (they also informed me of how the state-mandated program actually works, plus the minimum cover depths in different zonings for utilities) (plus, I was 99% sure that's what it was, from when I did construction)
I watched this for the 3rd time over the course of 5 months. This time I took notes for a shopping list.
Josh, I wholly agree about being mobile. That's how I fly too. I like my T-posts too, but I don't care for the color, so I spray mine black. They make my garden look elegant now.
good idea, why didn't I think of that
I love that this system is reusable and portable. It's also beautiful and organized which I appreciate.
holy moly, a use for some old pvc pipe!!! I have a ton of it when we bought our house. Awesome I don't have to buy nothing. Thank you so much for this post, this made my day!!
Josh, please start posting content again! What you are doing on a small plot of land is really inspiring!
This is one of the best hands on videos I’ve seen about trellising. Thank you for all the specifics and details!
Some GREAT ideas in this video!
One trick I've learned when doing the "weave" in my garden for peppers is to go ahead and place the additional twine or string up to the top of your t-posts. So, go above the plants and run the string down and back just as you would if you were weaving ( except you won't be weaving it because you're above the plant). Now, instead of having to take the time to be careful and weave around each plant when they grow taller, you just spread the twin apart and place the plant into the "weave" as it grows taller! It's also nice because you can get all of that tying done in one day.
Great idea, thank you! I was going to try hog fencing panels but for my first year / attempt string seems much easier. I don't know how to tie any interesting / useful knots though, any suggestions?
@@chelseaandhobbes Google this, and sit back with a cup of whatever. Too much info to list. "Useful knots to use while gardening".
Perfect. Finally I found just the right trellis system . I have 9 beds. Each are 3X 5. I know it sound small. But The first book I read 20 years ago. Was Square Foot Gardening. I am always amazed at how much you can grow in a small space. Also being a single gardner. I like a lot of variety.
This system will set up fast. And I can move it around as I rotate my crops each year. Thanks for sharing. Happy Gardening.
Oh my goodness - where have you been my whole life? Have no idea how I even found you but I subscribed! great information and your presentation and videoing is so good! no extraneous chatter, clear explanations - verbal and visual - thanks Josh
Clear, informative, concise videos. Fantastic info. No fluff. Great job!
Been gardening 40 years, and just learned a lot from your vid. Thanks
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Hi Josh,
Wow, what a beautiful garden. Very neat and well laid out.
Thanks for sharing your farming experience. I am trying to improve my garden this year and this has been helpful.
Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you have been enjoying the content so far. Lots more to come.
Awesome video! 13 minutes short and so many different trellising methods shown with the easiest of set up, thank you Josh!!
Saved this video to my special list of how-to ideas I want to implement in the future. Brilliant techniques, simple, clean, easy, and it works! The tomato and pepper lines weaving back and forth sold me. You are brilliant sir!
We used you system last year after watching your video . It worked great , absolutely zero flaws if done exactly like you show . Due to crop rotation we will be doing different sections every year . This year beens , tomatoes and cucumbers last year was cucumbers and tomatoes . I did find it easy to weave the twine between the top poles and bailing wire we strung at bottom of t post . We did have a deer get in and managed to find a way to run through the wall of twine . And every t post we planted monster sunflowers around each post and used soaker hose to fasten them to the t post when they reached 8 feet tall
Did the sunflowers obscure the posts well? Where I'm at people are overly concerned about how things look instead of practicality, so sunflowers hiding the posts and PVC would be really nice!
@@h.s.6269 worked good for that . I planted next to the post because the heads on my sunflowers get almost two feet across and stalks are about three to four inches thick
@@magapickle01 love that idea!
This is awesome! I love how easy it is and portable. I have been looking for different trellis ideas on You Tube for my tomatoes that grew taller than the 4 foot cages they're in. Yours is the best one so far. I'm gonna watch this video again and hit the store early tomorrow to get started. Thank you!!
Did you try the Florida weave or t-posts with vertical twine? I’m curious bc I’m planning to grow indeterminate toms this year.
Thank you! I wanted an easy to install system and this is it. I followed your instructions and now have vertical string trellis on my tomatoes.
i was struggling to build up a trellis for my tomatoes and beans...this way is much easier thank you for sharing
Kia ora from New Zealand. Thank you for this video, Josh. I love how you have such a tidy garden and you have been concerted in ensuring your structures are mobile and cost-efficient. Well done. I have a garden that is grown mainly for food and fruit production. I am looking at trellising my tomatoes and cucumbers so finding your video was very timely. Bless you and your garden.
That is a seriously structured garden 😍
You are exactly right, very structured….👍
Thank you for show us how to do the trellises. I need to make one for my school garden. I also need them for home. Can't wait to start.
Really like your approach. For people who cannot afford a “house beautiful “ garden or don’t have the time or tools to do elaborate builds. Thank you!
You are AWESOME for sharing this! THANK YOU! This is going to be a game-changer for our 100ft rows. Love the versatility.
We used a similar set up but used 8' T-posts and #4 rebar instead of conduit. The conduit is generally far less expensive. Then we hung 6" x 6" UV resistant tells mesh. We are trellising all of our tomato varieties, slicing cukes, pickling cukes, zucchini, winter squash and peas.
does the winter squash do ok on the trellis?
This is my first year trellising, and first year doing squash. I was worried that they may be too heavy.
Thanks again for the great information! I don't get on TH-cam as much as I would like, but when I do your videos never disappoint, Josh. So much helpful information packed into a concise and easy to watch video!
I love how organized you are.
And the rows of plants are beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your system.
You are my new HERO .....Loved this video...You're a genius, thank you !!! Can't wait to implement your techniques... My garden is growing strong but always learning...💕🤗 🙏
Been gardening for years. 1st time I've seen this. GENIUS! Going to give it a go. Thanks!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Back in the 50's, in rural northern Alabama, we used cane we cut from the many creek banks. love this video and the simplicity of the process, and cost effectiveness.
Thank you. I followed your directions and using it for my Triple-L Crop tomatoes and it seems to be working perfectly.
I really wish I saw you sooner. My husband cut up all his 2x4's to make my tomato towers. Your way is so much better Thank you
That was awesome. I’ve been looking for a simple way to cover my raised garden and this gave me some ideas.
Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!
Love this style of trellis. I just had my husband install this. It was super easy. I bought 10foot t posts at tractor supply and the twine. Takes up hardly any space. This is very sturdy. Thank you!
I saw this video over the winter and came across it again today. Thank you! I’m so excited to try your trellis ideas.
Love how simple and cheap your trellis system is. We may just do this same for our garden this coming up year. Thanks for the video :)
You are inspirational & right on point! We do change our minds! 😂
“They last forever-ish”... oh my gosh, I love it! 😝
Thank you sharing this with us.
Exactly what I was looking for. Since I'm learning to grow veggies I didn't want to go all out and spend a lot of money. This does the job and it's easy to find materials. Thanks!.
What a beautiful garden !!! Impeccable genius idea! Awesome! 😊
Good morning from Texas!! Great idea on the trellis. Also a good investment is a T-Post puller. You’ll understand if you’ve ever tried to pull out a T-Post. 😉😉 🤠🇺🇸
I was wondering about that, thanks!
Absolutely good work!
Just what I was looking for. Simple. Functional. Reusable. You teach well.
Thank you!
I wish I have seen this earlier. I have been struggling to keep my tomatoes, peppers and egg plants upright. Your ideas are great. will sure be using it this season.
Thank you from South Africa
THANKS!!! This is the best solution I've seen for vine crops. Can't wait to try in the spring!
Like the editing and how you get straight to the point awesome man keep it up
Thank you. Glad you like the video!
Just when I was settling on using cattle panels, I found this video. This is a much better idea. Thank you so much!
Same here! This seems to be a bit more versatile. And you can put a string for each plant.
Cattle panels are still great for heavy vines like for melons.
Same! I was heartbroken because the amount of panels I would need would be way out of budget!
I am jealous indeed, and I appreciate this video so much. Looks Like I will be putting this trellis system in my garden this weekend. I am feeling so happy right now at how simple the materials and how easy it will be for me to put this together. Thank you so much Josh. You are GREAT!!!
Thank you for showing both trellis systems and how you are using them. Very informative video! I think I'll be using both methods in my garden this year. I'm new to having a large garden so thanks for all the information!
Excellent idea, last year I wood staked each tomato plant and loved the results however I can see this being a better long term / cost effective result
Great trellis system, thank you for vlogging the process ☺️
I love this idea! Solution to what I was trying to figure out - wanting to keep it simple - this will be perfect for me. You've saved me some heavy thinking. Thanks!
I was in the hardware store today with 6 t posts and I couldnt figure it out... Now I got it... How easy.. Thank you young man! Happy Gardening.
I just barely found you Josh.... Been looking for a channel like this. Keep it up
I’m watching your video as my hubby drives us home from our vacation in Tennessee. I’ll let him watch it when we get home so he can help me put one up! Thanks for sharing! Never saw you before. I subscribed.🤪👍‼️
Got it done. With the post driver the whole system cost me about $90. It looks great! Thanks for all you do.
You have done it so well Josh; thank´s for sharing it with us! Nice to see how it´s done.
This is much like what we did at our place in our day, looks like the future of market gardening is in good hands.
Great trellis system! I'm in a typhoon alley so I use canopy pipes anchored in cement. L and t canopy fittings to extend the length of the bed. I wish I could do that. It's so much simpler and easier. You have a beautiful garden.
Great design. And you showed at the end, two people would solve the problem. And you are running your camera! Thank you! Great system.
Thank you so much for this. I used this idea for my small garden. Just needed 2 posts for my little garden and this was wonderful. Other options are so expensive!
Glad to see someone else using conduit. I cut it in half for the pepper plant post. Your garden looks great
Love this style of simplicity, low cost and mobility. Thank you for showing a way to trellis different kinds of plants and for sharing a super helpful and effective method. Are the bamboo sticks used at the bottom the long ones that you then cut to 2’ lengths? Thank you!
I built this from your video and have been nothing but pleased! Thanks so much for this video! My tomatoes and cucs love it and I am saving a TON of space in my SFG!
Brilliant, inexpensive, simple and quick. You should be proud of yourself.
Excellent method. I have 7 Permaculture beds in my back yard urban garden. They are deep with humus and worms, so hefty plants need support. Going to do shorter versions of this method. Thank you,
Very good idea with the T posts and T pipe on top. Thanks for sharing.
Two of my goals in gardening...keep cost low and keep labor to a minimum. Definitely Subscribed! Thanks for sharing :)
Perfect!! I was just thinking about buying several trellis today...this method will save me $$$ to get more seeds & plants! Thanks a zillion !!!!
Bravo. SIMPLE, PRACTICAL AND REASONABLE.
GOOD TUTORIAL AND EXECUTION.
Thank you. I'm glad you found it helpful.
I already love your channel & this is the first video of yours i think i haveever watched. My hubby is a sparky too, and my middle son is Josh and he's a totally beardy dude as well! Super ez cheap, adaptable-most important- & practical, TFS!
Thankyou for the teaching time, Josh. Much appreciate the simplicity and economy.
Have never come across your videos before. Will now follow more frequently. Thanks this was so simple and excellent. Paul
Thank you for sharing! I made a pvc one but yours is a whole lot easier, especially for my who is not only new to gardening, I’m also new to using any sort of tool. This is amazing! Thanks again!
What a beautiful Garden! 💕
Dude, my wife has a diploma in Horticulture and she is learning stuff from your techniques. I subed on this video we will be watching more. Keep them coming.
super nice!
Love this trellis idea.. grow game changer, I immediately went out and strung up my sweet peas in record time and with stuff I had! Thank you!
Excellent! I’ve done some of this in my garden but you’ve given me so many more ideas! I love your green house/tunnel. Do you have a video on how to build it?
Hi. You're a good farmer. Thank you about this information.
I made a bamboo trellis to make you jealous. Bamboo is free and I just pushed it into the ground, added the tees and threaded a cross piece through them. Great concept, Josh, and a lot of people are producing a lot of jealousy!
Clear , concise and creative. Great work young man!
Absolutely love the video and I can see I will be spending a lot of time watching your channel. Thankyou for sharing.
I see what you did with the title there. Lol. Great video. I did the Florida weave last year for the first time and really like it otherwise the wind would just snap them off. Now it looks like I will be using the t-post and conduit for some of my outside tomatoes, thanks!
your garden looks so perfect and beautiful.
Well done my man. Your garden looks to one of the best lay-out and spacious I've seem in a very long time. Well though out, as well layed out. Thank you for your videos. They make getting things that Need doing 3+ longer to getting them done. Video takes a lot of time, And preparation. So I thank you for your time sir in sharing with us would be gardeners like myself who do it on a much smaller scale. Your information is well taken. You have no idea how much you have help people like myself, who had no idea were or how to start a garden. But now after see and learning from your channel, man you would not believe the garden I have now. All this food I now put up and less trips to the grocery store save someone like myself who is on a F ixed income. All I can again say is thank you soooooo very much. God Bless you and yours sir. Your are doing good works.
