Cheap and Easy TOMATO TRELLIS

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- I have been fortunate to have had the top video on TH-cam for growing tomatoes for the past two years and still going strong. By far the most popular thing in that video was the way I trellis my indeterminate tomatoes. So many viewers have contacted me after trying it in their own garden and had great success. This video shows that method, plus a small upgrade to the system to grow even more tomatoes in less space!

Noah gets a Hammy award.🤣🤣
Yes he does!
Love the trellis pics at the end! Noah stole the show💞
Thank you!
Sure his trellis is very nice , he is great man who sharing garden tips, have a nice day to you
Great video i'm 64yrs and learning all the while thanks "oh" and greeting from u.k.👍
I use a couple of old broomsticks and cattle panel that was on the property when we moved here 5 years ago.
OH BRIAN I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS NOAH. HE'S SO PRECIOUS & HAS HIS DAD'S GREAT SENCE OF HUMOR. HE IS SO GOOD ENGAGING WITH ALL OF US. WE LOVE YOU ALL. LET NOAH SPEND MORE TIME WITH US & DAD. GREAT JOB.
Thank you ❤
I love Noah! Reminds me if my past gardening buddy that abandoned me by getting married and moving away like kids should. But dang, I miss his help. Got a grandson that loves to “help” me but at three years old...😬😁 But he’ll get there!
We need to see more of Noah!! He's fun 😸
Thank you
Noah is such a sweetheart. He's a favorite I love his personality
Oh my goodness Noah! The new star of Next Level Gardening! So personable.
I LOVE the three level garden at 7:25... awesome use of space!
Your assistant was exceptional
Noah is hilarious. Thank you for showing the actual steps. This is so helpful for people like myself who aren't so handy.
I love this trellis idea and Noah is adorable. Also, I switched from red solo cups to the clear ones for my seedlings. It let's me monitor root growth and I can easily see the moisture level in the cup.
Noah is growing soo fast! He’s adorable 🥰
Adding furring strips (if any) and eye hooks to the cross piece (and furring strips) before putting the cross piece on the vertical supports makes this a whole lot easier. Very nice idea.
Yes that would have been smart
Good idea, thanks for sharing!
What an adorable kid! That's your greatest accomplishment!
Truth! Thank you!
I did this for my sun gold cherries this year and it’s great because no cage or fencing. Makes harvesting and pruning turn from a chore to a more enjoyable experience 😊
Good job, Noah! 😆👌 You're learning the trade.
Thanks to all for sharing your trellis and garden pictures. I really appreciate seeing how gardeners deal with different terrains. Hope to see lots more!!!
Really glad you're doing these videos. I'm clueless on how to use a trellis.
Tomorrow!
@@NextLevelGardening Woohoo!
I’m so clueless I need you to put the name of everything you used in the description so I can get them at Home Depot.
Thanks for the cool video Brian. Wood deteriorates pretty quickly in my garden so I used electrical conduit that I slipped over 1/2” x 4’ rebar that I drove in on 8’ centers. The horizontal beam is the same conduit where I pre-drilled holes on 1’ centers and used 1/4” threaded eye bolts secured with a nut on top. Not as visually appealing as wood but it gets the job done! No digging needed and it’s really solid.
Nice! Plus wood is so expensive!
I like the EMT also; if it's wood, you'll be pulling it out in a few years because it's rotten.
@@elizabethblane201 Thank you Elizabeth and Farmer Bob. I think it might be stronger than wood for when a hurricaine comes this way. I'm in Florida. Blessings for sharing and be well. 🤗♥️💙❤️💚
@@mariap.894 You're welcome, Maria. Good luck with your project. Bob's method of holding the uprights in place with rebar pounded into the ground is really good. God bless.
Were you using ground contact pressure treated lumber? If you’re using something like untreated yellow pine, it’s going to rot super fast, but the pressure treated stuff should be good for several years. That said, I like your Uber-industrial strength solution. Being in a suburban environment, I suspect my neighbors would not.
Your kiddo is so cute! Also, great tips for tomatoes. I can't wait to try!
My like is for your adorable assistant.
Thank you for showing me your tomato trellis. I built mine just by watching your videos and now I am single stemming my tomatoes. This is the first year I have tones of tomatoes growing on my plants this year. Before I never took the suckers off, and would hardly get tomatoes. I’m so excited this year. Thanks again.🤗
This is perfect for my situation as my tomato trellis will need to be against a wall like this one.
This helps me so much seeing exactly how you do this.
Good!
Love seeing Noah in your videos. He’s a real natural 😊
Hi from South Africa.
Thx for a really easy trellis idea. Love all your advise/ video's. NOAH made me love... lovely kid.!
Looks like you got a good boy there must be doing a good job raising him that's great
That’s a great trellis idea! Thanks for sharing! I will steal this for my next garden when we move
Steal away!
I love your ideas and your kid is cute and hilarious. Looks like y'all have a lot of fun
I am so excited for my garden in 2022!!!
Great trellis and you have a really wonderful son! Am going to construct the trellis but I live in N. Germany - it is not known for rain-free summers so have to work out how to cover it when it rains and remove the cover when it is sunny.
Your Son is adorable!🙂 Great video, I'm making this ,
Thank you! Y'all are adorable! Gonna be our project this weekend. Hi from Port Aransas, Tx.
@ 3:55 the drill would have smacked me the head, sucks being a lefty.
Thanks for the landscaping advice
I will make this trellis for my bottle gourd, thanks though, stay blessed. Amen
Great Video!!!!!!
I am really impressed with everyone's garden pictures. You've inspired me so much!!!
Thank you. That makes me happy!
Oh Thank you. Next year I'm making this. I love your channel. Learning a bunch! And what a cute son you have. 👍💖Lol
Thank you for the inspiration. I modified the design to suit our situation, while following the concept. Today I put a second set of clips on all of the tomatoes and saw the first few fruits that have set (San Marzano for the win, second year running).
I used cup hooks (open) instead of eye hooks (closed) for ease of re-hooking the tomato hooks.
Nice to see Noah making an appearance and helping out.
Cute kid - and handy helper!
If you're gonna use tomato string hooks and clips to trellis tomatoes, make the trellis at least 7' tall. This is cheaply and easily achieved by using 8' T posts with conduit where you connect the conduit to the posts using PVC elbows and or T's. T posts and conduit will last virtually forever and are easily moved each year seeing you don't want to plant tomatoes in the same place each year.
That's what I'm doing this year!
One of the pics at the end showed that, too.
Yep. I am gardening on my balcony; I had no ground to put a T post into, so I just made my support with 3/4" EMT and canopy fittings. Totally movable, clean, and yes, 7' tall.
@@elizabethblane201 I'm clueless, sorry. What is EMT?
@@jenniferdavidek677 Hi Jennifer, sorry to talk in jargon. It stands for Electrical Metallic Tubing, or metal conduit, as it is commonly called. It's very handy, lightweight, easily cut with a hack saw, relatively inexpensive, easily connected, and very durable.
I will do this! But will put the eye bolts on before attaching to the top.
Good idea!
I was thinking that too. Much easier on the shoulders to have less overhead work.
Noah is a doll-great personality! It's easier to screw in a screw eye if you use a screwdriver through the hole once you get it started.
I’ve been waiting for the trellis how to before making mine. You confirmed what I was planning but I am going to be adding it inside my raised bed so that it will be 8 ft for the top board. I am going to add metal braces where I attach the uprights to the bed to make sure they are very secure. Am I overbuilding? Probably 🤣
Better safe than sorry!
Rowena K. I was thinking the same here but to only one side of the raised bed. I wouldn't know what to do with so many tomatoes. Lol. Blessings ♥️💜
OMG….your son is hysterical!! He was the best part 😂😂
Wonderful. Will be doing this for my similar space against a boundary wall. Thank you, Brian!
I’m doing this type of trellis this year. After 12 years of gardening, I think it will be my favorite way so far of trellising. However, with wood prices being what they are, our projects were not cheap.
Try Y-Posts and a suitable length of fairly solid bamboo. Just drive the posts in, lash the bamboo along the top solidly and run appropriate strength twine up from each plant.
Don't place the posts right at the ends, moving them in a plant or two reduces the flex in the middle.
I don't even use hooks, just take the twine, attach with a loose loop to base of tomato stem, wind in up to the top of the plant, then up to the bamboo, loop it around a few times, then take it back down itself and tie off with an Clove Hitch or one of its slightly stronger variants. Nice and easy to adjust tension needed, by just moving the hitch and adjusting the slack around the loops on the bamboo.
Nice montage at the end, I like seeing what others have done. thanks for the awesome info
Noah is super helpful young man, on the job training for the future. Very lovely!
Nice. I will be building this with some items i have and not buy anything. Thanks for the idea.
Where is part 2? Just found your Chanel! Going to binge watch ! Lol! Thank you!
Trying cherry tomatoes this year after years of having given up due to a multitude of critters. Figured I'd watch a couple of videos for tips on keeping them out before moving on to chores. That was hours ago before I ended up binge-watching your channel. It was a good thing to do on a rainy day like today in my neck of the woods. Noah's a hoot- just like his dad. Now on to the next...
Thank you so much. I’ve learned more from you in one day than any other gardener I’ve watched. You’re awesome. Wow. Thank you so much. I’m so happy I found your videos. 🦎😀
Noah is the best helper 🤣.
Noah has such a great personality!! LOVE the trellis pics...thanks!
I used 8 ft cattle fence with t posts and extended with rebar to around 8 ft tall. Will be growing some Frankenstein tomato plants! Lol
Love Noah!!❤ Super love the "No No" following him on IG!!! 😄😄😄
Going to make this trellis too.
🤣🤣
Loved seeing all of the Brian-method trellis's!!👏💙
And can't forgot the adorable and funny Noah! We need to see him more!🤗
My husband built the trellis last week. I tweaked your design by having him install the upper bars at a 45 degree angle so that the front row of tomatoes will not shade the back row. Looking forward to a great harvest this year! Now if only the nights could warm up (still around 40F) so that I can actually plant the tomatoes in the garden!
Great idea!
Brilliant idea
Don't split the end of the horizon board,, First predrll for the screws.
Upper board, move upright inward about 8" and it will be strong longer as the stress of the skews in time will be less pressure to bust the upper board .
Thanks for the teaching
Good idea 💡
Better strength from better wood working.
Thanks
I love all the pics of the ones people made from this video. I'm thinking of doing the same as the white vinyl ones. I have those same beds! Now I just have to find the fencing and figure out if they drilled holes or just hung the hooks over the spindles ! So glad I found your videos!
We installed all of our hooks today! I can’t wait to see how much bigger the tomatoes can get this year. Last year I had to top them all since our covered garden maxes out at 6’ tall. This could be a game changer!!
I have 40ish tomatoes to plant and now I am not sure how to proceed......I enjoyed seeing all the differences in how people built your trellis!
I'll be building these supports on 9 beds over the next month.
Great team work.
Omgosh, your son is a Rockstar 🤩 You two are adorable
Hi from Australia, thanks for so much inspiration in getting my gardening vibe back
Can I know the fb group please
Next level gardeners
Omg - just love this! I am doing a variation of this - that I am committed to now (already purchased other stuff) - but NEXT year? Alright, alright, alright!!!
Noah needs his own channel. A natural.
Love that Noah is involved. Such a comedian!
Yes...yes he is🤣🤣
Wonderful video and ideas of trellis!
Very nice tips cheap and easy tomatoes trellis , i learn something new from you and thanks for sharing to us such informative and educational skill
Great idea for small row plantings. Tomatoes, beans, endless. thanks! 🙋🏼
You're welcome
Love this idea!!!!! Already got mine planted, but next year, THIS IS HAPPENING!
I forgot those were some really nice trellises
As always, Noah is a rockstar❤️😎. Great to see this done from scratch and excited to see tomorrow’s video.
I know your mom appreciates your efforts and will love getting more tomatoes this year
Hope you, Emilie and Noah have an amazing weekend. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you ❤ we are having a great weekend so far. Did you go home yet?
@@NextLevelGardening yes, I came home Tuesday and was happy to find my tomatoes thriving thanks to all your tomato videos ❤️
Thankyou for this video!!!! I have the 2 posts in and was trying to figure exactly what to do next!
I love seeing the spin on your trellis system. The foundation and design are so simply, it is easily modified for each space. I love mine it was easy to install and extremely beneficial.
Yes exactly!
Okay I'm waiting on part 2
I’m so excited your doing this in detail Brian. So helpful. Thanks so much.
I’m voting for more Noah in the videos! He seems like a great kid and I loved his personality and his humor! And I’m with you on the Instagram, though! I’m for keeping them off that stuff as long as possible! Great video! I am going to get my wood right now! Literally! I am in Lowe’s parking lot! 😂
Great job, Noah!!
This went so much nicer than mine. If I would have filmed it the title could have been "I can't believe I didn't fall." Thank you for sharing the pics at the end. Mine was included so that makes my day.
I AM SO EXCITED FOR TOMORROW'S VIDEO!!!!
Loved the photos from the group. So nice to see all the beautiful gardens surrounding your trellis. It's awesome!
Fun!!!
Your son IS adorable. Good job!
My tomato plants are already about 4' tall growing up 8' stakes this year (the very first cherry tomato has fully ripened, and there are lots of tomatoes now on the various vines), but after seeing the hooks in several different videos over the past month, I am definitely going to be growing this way next year!
you have a great helper!!!
Thank you! I’ve been looking for this tutorial for ages!
Noah is SO CUTE!!! Nice to see father and son working together.
Thank you!
I'm trying to make your trellis for the first time this year.
Noah is going to be a star.
Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Love your presentation style and your son is adorable!
Very cool to see Noah strut into frame....that kid is hilarious 🤣 thanks for taking us through this step by step process 🥃
Lol. He's a ham for sure!
Great video..I might try this way this year
AWE BROTHER BRIAN, YOUR HELPER IS SOOO SWEET & WELL MANNERED. GOD BLESS Y'ALL IN JESUS NAME.
Thank you. I'm very proud of him!
I am so glad you made this video. I actually made 2 rows similar to how you are doing it now, and it was all inspired from your trellis and it's working amzing! Thank you! 😊
That's great!
Glad you posted this today! We had one of our old Maple trees get struck by lightning and lost a “branch” that I am repurposing. I just cut a bunch of 8’x2-3” branches out to the garden last night to start building trellises today and was looking for you past video when this popped up🥰. Happy garden for me! I have 8 varieties of tomatoes, beans, etc. This year I am trying a lot of your techniques, so I am super excited to see how elevated my already prolific garden will turn out. Everything from artichokes to zucchini! Only thing I’m missing is a Noah!!
Let me know how all of that goes!
@@NextLevelGardening I’ll definitely post progression pictures 🥰
I loved that little blooper of Noah asking your audience to follow HIM on IG. Hahahahaha 😂😃🤣🤣🤣🤣. You two are the best! Thank you and look forward to the next episode. 👏👏👏♥️💚🧡🤗💜
