Just a suggestion that I've used with good effect. As long as my hole isn't too deep I use the sidewall cut out of an old truck tire to help with hole placement. I center the sidewall where the hole should go, spike it to the ground and then dig down in the middle of that. Avoids having to battle those strings you were fighting at the end. If the hole has to go very deep you might need to pull the sidewall out to get the clam shell digger in there. But it also keeps dirt from falling back down the hole if you do it right. I need to put up some trellis for my raspberries this spring, so this was very timely. Thanks!
Your safety tips are very appreciated. It is an important aspect of woodworking and related activities. Even though I am cautious, after 40 years of woodworking I recently enjoyed my first injury requiring a few stitches. Always look for dangers and be ready (and calm) if something unexpected happens.
I always feel so bad when I watch your videos because I'm laying in bed looking at your TH-cam videos and I'm not being productive I need friends like you I want to build me a porch swing all kinds of things you make it look so easy.👋👋😳😒😊😊😊😕😕
New favorite! Love the outtakes at the end because, let’s face it, there’s always something in your face, your hair, up your nose or in your eyes. The trellis system looks excellent and worth all the thrashing. 👍❤️
Fantastic Trellis!! Built to last. If you find yourself needing to dig more holes in the future you may consider using a tool called a gibbs digger combined with a spud bar to do the heavy work of breaking up the dirt at the bottom of the hole. The business end of the gibbs tool is articulated by the handles and is used to bring the loose dirt up like a filling a bucket. Be well!
Great video! An easy, cheap and time saving way to hold your trellis upright once it is sitting in the wet cement in the hole is to attach a small board to the trellis post with one nail, then stretch the small board out until it is 45 degrees to the vertical post. Now drive a peg into the ground next to the end of the small board and nail/screw the small board to the peg. If you put 2 of these on each post, at right angles to each other, your trellis post will be held perfectly vertical while the cement dries. Remove the small board and peg after the cement dries. No more trying (in vain) to hold the post vertical while the cement dries.
Those came out so well, although it reminded me of the nightmare of using a posthole digger in our rocky Connecticut soil, that's why I learned how to operate a backhoe at a fairly young age, oh how hated hitting a rock with it, oh well,I digress, those trellises should handle all kinds of raspberry bushes, excellent job, as always
Just found your channel a couple of hours ago and have now watched pretty much all your videos. It is absolutely awesome watching a girl being so talented, eager to learn and full of great ideas in this fairly man dominated field. You are very inspiring and I look forward to following you going forward. This raspberry setup I will definitly use in my summerhouse in Denmark, already looking forward to building it later this month. Oh, and I really like your video editing!
Nicely done! I want to do the same but maybe make the top arms a hair wider so I can drape bird netting across without getting tangled in the plants as bad
Loving the content! Great work! Still geeking out on how perfect the intro is! It's wonderful to see the hard work you put into things and being able to reap the benefits later. You are truly an inspiration for all and especially little girls!
All good options, but our treated lumber is pretty wet, and I prefer not to do construction grade projects in my woodshop because it's so finely tuned for fine woodworking projects, but hey, whatever gets the job done, right?
Sliding your tie downs through an old piece of a water hose will both accentuate where the tie down is and will protect you shin when you or someone will inevitable run into it.
Looks like you could do with a hand auger to (help) dig your holes. A simpler but nice metalshop/forge project. The T-handle apple corer - deburring bit style works well. You can make them any diameter to fit fence pole or concrete pour.
I want those raspberries! I had a few bushes at my house 5 years ago before we moved to a condo. They were just growing good too! Found out the person who bought our house ripped them out! What an idiot! ...Anyway yours look great and they're so tall too! Yummy!
woohoo, silver play button on the way then, hmmmm! Congrats on the milestone, Anne. 👍 Loved the wrestle at the end with that rude tree that just wouldn't take the hint... bwahahahaha oh, trellis looks smashing, by the way. ;-)
Isn't it odd how the persuader always seems to wander off when you need it? Love the Trellis, totally going to have to try this when I try to tame my raspberries.
A trick with your string lines - Use magnetic hooks on the ends. I attach a 1" fender washer to the stake with a screw and tie the string to the magnetic hook. - In my case most lines I run are near ground level and started doing this after I was almost sued because someone tripped over a line. Now the string just pops off, or can be taken down temporarily and is easy to reattach.
@@AnneofAllTrades How I use them is instead of tying off the string to a stake, I just mount a washer and magnet then run the line straight off the hook. The magnets I use have a 1" dia. magnet base and a small hook from the middle. I don't know the pull of the magnets but I would guess about 20-30 Lbs or so. They are plenty strong enough for my use. Even moderate deflection of the strings doesn't pull them off. It's hard to just pull them straight off by hand but they slide off fairly easily. String tension is inline with the pull of the magnet and I don't put nearly 30 Lbs of tension on the string. I picked my magnets up at one of the box stores, but an Amazon search for "string line magnets" lists several that are almost exactly what I have. Hope this helps and please let us know if this works for you.
@@AnneofAllTrades Also another trick I use is to replace the string in an old chalk line reel with mason line and use as normal (minus chalk). This saves me on string as it is reusable and easily wound up and stored without "bird nesting". They hold about 100 - 150 feet of string depending on the size of the reel. If the string is damaged just cut that part off and keep going. On the loose end I just keep a magnet hook attached, and on the reel side to terminate a run I just use a slipknot and attach it to another magnet hook. Once you use it a few times you figure out how to make the slipknot so the string tension pulls the knot tight. A loop of string on the reel lets it hang on the stake as well. They are easy to make which is nice since they sometimes tend to "walk away".
Avi Tech oh interesting. Glad you found a good solution for you! That definitely wouldn’t work for this application, as we’ve got a few hundred pounds of tension on the lines- the rows are about 100’ long.
@@AnneofAllTrades Oh ok. Well maybe keep it in mind for a time when you can use it. I just kinda know your pain when trying to dig or work around string lines like at the end of the video.
Loved the video as usual. Minor detail: Great advice to avoid placing hands in path of chisel. Interesting you would then lift heavy objects and dig with sharp tools while wearing your bare toed sandals.
Nope! Just the old broken one I found at the farm. Fixed it up and works a treat. Isaac has one too, but it's super heavy and tough to use. I think I was using that bugger at the end of the video.
@@AnneofAllTrades thank you for the reply. I look at the video that does not look like the Fiskar post hole digger that I used. The one I used the pivot point is a foot or so above bottom of the digger and when you spread the handle it opens about 6 inches when you close the the digger. I like this digger because of the weight and it seems more solid when I dig the holes. I also use a digging bar and a round point shovel to dig post holes.
Looks great! Great tips with the chisel! I had chip-out on my trellis because I didn't start from the ends and chisel in... Wish I had seen this sooner!
Do they make a left-handed circular saw? Maybe they could engineer a circular saw you could convert to either left-handed or right-handed. They could have a swivel point to rotate the motor and saw blade and then move the handle. We had raspberries on our farm up till the time our father died. They were delicious. Thanks
I'm actually ambidextrous but it's funny switching between saws, some work better than others with my two handedness and I never really pay attention to what hand I'm using!
Will you cut your raspberry plants half a foot above the ground in autumn? It's also nice if you have early and late season fruits to eat them all summer ^^ Delicious
Martin Dyrba so it is best to only cut second and third year plants in the autumn. First year plants need to be left alone. It’s a bit cumbersome to keep track, but you get a much higher yield if you do.
I don't remember all the varieties, but there's 8 or ten types in there, some golden raspberries, some orange, some everbearing, some early, some late.
I'd add some red or yellow ribbons to the guide wires so they show up good.....not sure about you but when looking at the plants it is easy to NOT see where your walking !
Just a suggestion that I've used with good effect. As long as my hole isn't too deep I use the sidewall cut out of an old truck tire to help with hole placement.

There is nothing better than raspberries eaten fresh off the bush and I can't believe how fast they grew. You are doing something right!

Thanks! It was a fun milestone to celebrate last night.
@@AnneofAllTrades yay!!!! You did it!!! Time to make a sweet shelf to house your play button
@@nickkk420 heck yeah!
Radial arm saw with a dado blade is what we normally use for 1/2 laps you can do it on long pieces easily. Love you videos thank you.
Or a table saw, or a router.

Awesome job it cool it looks like power lines
hahaha interesting observation!
You certainly are a hard working gal Anne. Looks great.
Thanks! Work hard, go to bed tired, that's my motto. Never have a hard time sleeping :)
thank you Anne of course you were built for that
hahaha oh I know :)
OMG great out takes. As always, love your vids lady.
Awesome trellis...awesome job! Great addition to your raspberry patch.
Thanks Mark!

Today I learned what a Trellis is :)👍
Nice work boots for the hole digging :)
Hahaha my husband said the same thing.

Thanks so much! What a wild ride it's been!
i must get me some of those saftey Sandals......Loving the work Keep the sun shining in your mind,, and it will light your day
Great video Anne!
Another good Job Anne ! Good narration as well :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. I recommend a dust mask when working with pressure treated wood.
That is probably a good idea.
I see you have a hundred thousand plus subscribers now. Congratulations on that.
Love the Gardening DIY vids! keep going AoaTs!!
Thanks so much!
Very nicely done.
Very interesting, I will have to watch some more!
Love seeing your farm starting to truly develop and incorporate more of your ideas! Harvest season is going to be busy for you this season! :)
Thanks Jackie!
Congratulations on hitting 100K!!!! Keep up the great videos and can't wait to see some content on the old pick up truck
Thanks so much! We've got the first video on the truck in the can, just waiting on approval to post!
@@AnneofAllTrades That's awesome. I can't wait to see it.
your end of vid bloopers crack me up...
glad to hear it! They are my favorite part.
Awesome job Anne, looks like a really sturdy trellis system! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks Fred!
I have anxiously waited for this video!! I love how it turned out and how great the raspberries are doing. Have a happy 4th!!
Thanks Lisa!
You can put a piece of tape on the post hole digger at the depth you need. That way you don't have to lift a heavy 4x4 in and out a million times.
Hahaha that’s a way better method.
nice work ann love you content x
Thank you!
Anne very nice
Thank you.

Awesome trellis, would love to do a bunch of those!
WOOOOHOOOOO!!! Almost at 100K!!!
Great video Anne! Thank you for sharing it with us' Happy 4th of July🎇🎆👌👍😎JP
Very good job. I was going to bodge a makeshift trellis but it's worth doing an excellent trellis actually.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
I want those raspberries! I had a few bushes at my house 5 years ago before we moved to a condo. They were just growing good too! Found out the person who bought our house ripped them out! What an idiot! ...Anyway yours look great and they're so tall too! Yummy!
hahaha yeah I hate going by our old house and seeing so many of the plants I planted now gone. But to each their own!
@@AnneofAllTrades when they see the price of raspberries here in Ontario and how scarce they are this year, they may be kicking themseves in the head!
That trellis is going nowhere anytime soon. Great job. Wish I had a place to grow fresh raspberries. Love watching your channel.
Thanks so much Scott!
Awesome job
It looks amazing 😊
woohoo, silver play button on the way then, hmmmm!
Congrats on the milestone, Anne. 👍

Treated lumber looks a little different out west I’ve been told.
Anne of All Trades it looks way different. Ours has a blueish tinge. Check out April’s new video, ours looks like that
yeah I noticed that while she was building her shop. Pretty crazy.
I'd add some red or yellow ribbons to the guide wires so they show up good.....not sure about you but when looking at the plants it is easy to NOT see where your walking !
But then my videos would have less outtakes!
You keep saying trellis but I keep seeing a lumber storage rack ! Lol
nice to see someone else gets frustrated in the garden lol!
