@@lisaturpin8860 Are there any videos that feature your garden? I'd love a detailed tour. The glimpse of your garden in this video was thrilling, but too limited. Your fans want more. This fan, anyway 🙂.
Hori Hori knife to the rescue! Great trellis- my raspberries are on year two as well that would be a great addition! Thanks for the tips! Also…. A tour of Lisa’s gardens more closely please!!!!! So pretty and organized!!
Have your posts warped yet? I’m guessing that the tension from tightening the lines is going to bend the posts in towards each other? I’m curious to hear an update since I’m seeing this video a year after it was posted.
Very pretty, a project to nurture ones inner OCD. i've been growing raspberries for 20 years and i'm online looking to build a better trellis system for them. Blackberries are easy, they stay put. Raspberries grow like geriatric hair, i.e., you never know where one is going to pop up. The even manage to escape my confining raised bed. The challenge i find is they wanna grow outside the confines of the trellis... sprawl. This type trellis seems very accommodating with its open design. i think i may just want more order than raspberries will permit me. The cable idea is better than the wire or bungee cords i've used in the past. Thanks for sharing. :-)
I'm trying out raspberries planted in large 30 gallon grow bags. (I'm in Pender Harbour on quite a shady lot and the soil is very poor in the sunniest area) A structure similar to what you've made would be a great addition over top. Thanks for sharing!
Nice! I haven't read all the comments, so if this has already been mentioned... Having done something similar some years ago, I'd suggest when installing your wires to have the turnbuckle(s) as loose as they can get (safely), then pull the wire(s) taut and crimp. Nature being what it is, time will not make the wire tighter... so you might get more adjustment down the road with this. You'd still need to keep enough engagement for when you want to loosen/unhook, though.
Yeah they're amazing! Ah I just used one of thinnest wires from Home Depot that you can buy in bulk. Was super affordable. And then I just used some crimping cutters to cut it to the right length!
Yup, I was thinking the same thing. This will last much longer with two changes: 1) Put the screw eyes on the sides of the cross pieces about 1" in from an edge. The grain is much stronger than using the end grain as he did. 2) Ditch the concrete which rots the posts and use crushed granite instead. Pack it tightly about 4" at a time with a stick or better digging bar. You'll be amazed at the holding power of just 4"! Posts will last way longer too and when you do need to change them out, you don't have to bust concrete.
The only thing you did wrong and i think anybody watching this should know. You should have mixed the postcrete on the dry side and not encased it as you have done,the reason being all that water can now travel up the end grain of the timber and begin the rot process,yes it will set but the moisture is trapped conrete will set from just the moisture of air and soil and or rain but now every time it rains the concrete will absorb it inside that vessel even if its open at the bottom. Sit the posts on 2 bricks and fill your hole with one bag per post dryish. Hope this helps. 👍
Mine have been in this support for 2 growing seasons and they grow to the best sun light so i do release them to readjust in june just before they flower if they get clumped - but I tgink that was just because They had a huge grow spurt and were outside their confinement as well
It's a great question Erin! Only time will tell! In the event that does happen then as suggested I'll put some form of a brace in place to keep them where they are :D
Why all the hardware and clips. You got the posts and cross ties right. Now just drill a hole in the ends of each one, string some fencing wire through them, go back around and wrap the free end back around the wire. No hardware required. There's zero point in tensioning the wires other than to eventually pull your posts toward each other until they're leaned inward. You're holding up raspberry canes, not a building.
@@renitadykstra1123 That makes no sense. Making it the way I suggested or making it overly complicated and expensive like he did doesn't effect the functionality of it at all.
Don't under any circumstance screw into end grain. Screw the eyes into the face of the 2x4's. Better yet, get eye-bolts with nuts, and washers front and back and bolt the eye bolt to the face of the 2x4's. Your method won't last.
Fantastic editing and that suspense music was hilarious. Our raspberries are out of control, and we need this trellising system.
It looks great! I made my husband watch - he’s in charge of building our trellis. Allowing it to clip on and off is brilliant!
Haha yes!! Love to hear that!!
Lisa's garden is TOP NOTCH!! So impressive!
Well done on the trellis :) Looks great!
Yeah it's incredible what she has created and designed there!!
@@MindandSoil Thank you I do love my Garden :-)

Wow beautiful garden Lisa has !! Amazing!!
Great well thought out design!! Well done reusing resources!!
Cheers Jord
J&C 🌱🌱🌱
Yeah it's incredible!! So much amazing stuff she has throughout!
Nice job! The tensioners are called turnbuckles.
Love it. I will have to build a couple for my over grown raspberry bushes!!!
Love it! Send me a picture when it's all finished, would love to see it!!
It looks great and easy to make 😊
I'm having a go at something similar in Australia - thankyou!
Good luck! Thank you for watching :)
Love this. Great idea
Thanks Sharron!!
Hori Hori knife to the rescue!

Love that!! And yes, I've been thinking about doing more garden tours, might have to work that into the mix 😍
Jordan we should totally do a tour - when you have THYME...I will bring you some on Sunday :-)
When screwing in the “eyes” just put a screwdriver through the eye and use the screwdriver as leverage
Had to chuckle when you were removing the rocks - yes - we live on the very same riverbed 😂.
Turn buckles we call them in U.K , you done a neat job .
Appreciate your comment. I was trying to find them, but wasn't successful lol
The rock part was hilarious! Been there! So frustrating!
haha! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching :)
Awesome setup! I'm gonna do this same thing now! Did you end up adding lines to your top cross bars later on?

Oh fantastic Jill! Please do send me a picture once it's all setup, would love to see what it ends up as for you!

There are easier and cheaper ways to make wire tight enough to do this job
This is overkill
Love those turnbuckles..what kind of wire did you use?
Yeah they're amazing! Ah I just used one of thinnest wires from Home Depot that you can buy in bulk. Was super affordable. And then I just used some crimping cutters to cut it to the right length!
What kind of wood do you use for all your trellises?
What is the container/bucket you used to contain concrete in the ground?
What kind of wire And sleeves are they.? What are they called?
probably not the strongest option to drill into the end grain specially if under tension.

Red or black raspberries? What kind of wire string? Shouldn't it be coated?

what variety raspberry do you have here in the video, THET ARE TALL!
Can I plant Loganberries with my raspberries?
Should crimp aleast two times, i prefer 3 times.
Won’t they start to pull towards each other from the tension over time? My instincts tell me it needs a cross brace.

On farms they generally dead man anchor the post ends to prevent bowing of posts

I agree but I guess he likes it that way. It makes building the stuff more fun.
Her husband had her spinal injury in mind when he built it ❤
I just used wire and tensioned it the old fashion way that you tension wire ...work fine ...cheap

thank you , that is better than my rails . They are hard to take off and put back up when working on the raspberries .

Turn your screw eyes 90 degrees so they are horizontal instead of vertical. Nice job otherwise.
Damn man you handsome
Too much work
