Supporting Cut Flowers for Straighter Stems (How-To Stake, Net and Corral your Flowers!)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ก.ค. 2022
- Hey guys and welcome back to another video! Today I am working on getting some of our flower rows staked and corralled.
The idea is to support these cut flowers so that they'll produce long, straight stems all season long!
We use both the netting and corral method. Stay tuned because in this video, I'm going to show you exactly how we do it!

This video is SO HELPFUL. As a first year flower farmer, I learned a ton from these videos. thank you
The video I needed to see. Thanks!
Your videos are so calming. My farm opens this spring and I went micro flower farm until I understand the basics. End game is Edible forest open to public.... years away. Keep up the awesome videos!
Thank you for the kind words! And I love that- an Edible forest, how cool!
Nicely done, thank you! Your farm is beautiful! 🌱☀️🌻🐝
Thank you! 😊
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing this information, I find it very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the informative video. 💐
Thanks for watching! 😀
Thanks for the great info and demonstration! I am going to put a wildflower garden in my backyard and this gives me some good ideas about how to stake them up especially my zinnias as they always want to tip over
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck with the wildflower garden ✨🧡
Thanks!😊🌼🌸🌺
Boa tarde tudo bem que lindo plantio de flores, parabéns um grande abraço ficar com Deus,
I love your videos - you're doing a great job! Would you be able to add links to the items you use?
Thank you so much! Yes, of course- I can absolutely link to the products I use :) I updated this video description with a link to the netting. I noticed the exact netting I used was out of stock so I shared a few options that were from the same brand just smaller sizes. Hope that helps! As always, if I don't link to something- let me know in the comments and I'd be happy to point you in the right direction!
Thank you for the video and your knowledge and experience. Hoe fo you attach the tsine tonyhe post? Ehst sre you doing st the top of the post?
The twine stays in place with tension.. just pulling tight to make sure there’s no slack.
I love your videos. I used the plastic netting one year. It did a great job of supporting my celosia and zinnias. The problem came when I tried to clear out the bed. The flowers were so intertwined with the netting I had to use the bucket on my tractor to clear the row out. What do you do to clear the netting and the flowers in a row? Thank you
You’re absolutely right.. it is a bit tricky to separate the flowers from netting! The best thing I’ve tried is using a hedge trimmer to trim the flowers that are growing above the netting and then I’m usually able to wiggle the netting over my garden stakes. It definitely takes some patience but it works 😀
Do you have any links for the netting and twine you use? I made the mistake of using a natural fiber twine that stretched and broke last year😂
You're absolutely right- jute or natural twine unfortunately doesn't hold up to the elements ;) You can take a look at the twine I use, here: amzn.to/3wPJH1Z ... your local hardware or farm store will likely carry a similar option too.
Thanks for the video. Do you reuse the netting or is it a one-time use and discarded at the end of the season?
Thank you for the video and great tip on the conduit. I had some old bamboo stakes I've been using this year but they definitely don't hold up to some of the heavier plants. Fingers crossed prices will fall a bit as I like the look of the conduit better! This is the first year we're doing a donation cut flower bed and while it's significantly smaller than your operation I'm wondering if you leave your landscape fabric down all winter or if you roll it up each fall?
Might be worth checking FB marketplace too for conduit :) I've been able to source quite a few different garden stakes from there as well.. but yes, fingers crossed conduit comes down because I look the look of it too ;) We will roll all of these landscape fabric up in a couple months- it's a lot of work but I do each each season so that I can plant a cover crop on this field to hopefully overwinter and help add back to the soil. Best of luck with your donation cut flower bed- sounds fun!
Do you find Apple of Peru to be an easy flower to grow? Do you find it useful for a filler/ foliage? I'm just trying to find different easy filler/foliage also do you succession plant this? This next year will be my second year. Thank you for all the great information it has really helped.
Thank you for the video!! Beautiful gardens!
Did you pound the conduit stakes right through the weed barrier fabric? It looks like you did but wanted to clarify.
Thank you for watching! And thank you for the kind words :) Yes, I pound right through our weed barrier- you don't have to, it's just what I do :)
Every year, one bed in my garden is corralled with hard neck garlic. This year its Bahelor's Buttons.
What a fun idea!
I love this idea!! I’ve never grown bachelor buttons. Are they sturdy?
@@kenselayre They can flop if they grow too quickly, which usually happens if they are fertilized - which I don't do, I rely on creating healthy soil. One other thing I do to encourage stems that can sway with wind etc. is to purposely water them high in all four directions to create a root/stem system that can withstand being knocked around. I do this with all my cut flowers, which means I do not rely on any drip system for watering. It takes a bit longer to water, but I save a massive amount of time setting up and later removing staking, corralling, netting, etc. Hitting my cut flowers with water also seems to eliminate pest pressure, I get practically zero pest damage and that in itself is a huge loss of revenue saver.
Does the netting last from year to year?
Your farm is so beautiful thankyou for sharing!
Awe thank you! To answer your question- the netting is more resilient than it looks. Some years we do re-use it. I will admit, it's sort of a pain to separate the netting from all the stems and flowers. And so, other years, when we're more pressed for time, we'll just discard it.
I may try corralling with my zinnias that are too tall to add netting. Thx!
Best of luck! Sounds like a great plan :)
Wondering what diameter of conduit that is? 1" or bigger?
With the netting does it make it hard to cut long stem’s flowers
It takes a little adjustment when you’re harvesting stems with the net verses without it but overall it’s not difficult to use :)
Thank you! How did you like the Apple of Peru?
Apple of Peru was fun to add into arrangements. The plants definitely grew to be WAY bigger than I was expecting so you truly don't need a lot of it in your garden. I will say that if you let this one go to seed, you'll find that its seed pods are filled with LOTS of seeds- so just be careful otherwise you'll have volunteer apple of peru until the end of time ;)
@@twosistersflowerfarm Thank you! The seeds seem to be sold out, so I'll have to keep on the lookout.
Do you grow gladiolus for cutting? If so what method do you use for staking?
I do not grow glads so unfortunately I don't have any experience to share. Best of luck to you!
