  1. Love this! I have been doing trellising for years now. We have cattle fence panel between garden boxes… the fence is outlasting the box LOL… and already have some cukes forming great tip!

  2. Thank you for posting Luke out in the garden right now actually adding water to my compost pile. I got too dry. I planted pickling cucumbers the other day under the trellis where the chipmunks I’m assuming got all my PC because nothing ever grew so will be using the trellis for the pickling cucumbers.

  3. May not be the cheapest but I am a huge supporter of using cattle panel and T post. Atleast when you set it up you never have to buy more netting and it can still be moved around (just not easily)

  4. The singing and the NASA outtake were funny.
    Thanks for keeping it light and informative. 😊

  5. I had always wondered if those would be strong enough. I looks like they are, so I might get one or two since I have some more cucumbers and a few other vining plants to trellis!

  6. Oh🤦‍♀️ Cottonwood seeds! Bane of my existence! Ours were coming out last month, and it always looks like snow on our yard. I went with cattle panel because I wanted the trellises to last. But if we couldn't have afforded them, this idea is great, since it will last a while. I really like your sense of humor!😂

  7. Aww man 💔, you have to at least sing half of the song 🎤 I made my trellis taller than my netting, so I just tied string staked down to the plants or clipped onto the plants, so they can grab on🙌🏻

  8. Instead of cutting the nylon trellis, why not double it over around the two stakes? Then you could guide the vines between the trellis lines and maybe not need or maybe just use few clips?

  9. I planted two different varieties of cucumber on one trellis which makes it difficult to hand pollinate (we have very little bees). Next year, I will grow only one variety per trellis.

  10. Thanks for singing that song. Now its going to be stuck in my head for days. Just like when I watched "Anyone But You". 🤬😂

  11. Good video-thanks! My t posts aren’t always as tall as I need so we make them taller by attaching a piece of wood to the top. We use spindles from a deck we took down but you could buy wooden stakes or use whatever you have available. You just screw a hook or eye to the top to attach the trellis to. Happy gardening!

  12. Best to use cattle panel,s or some other product that is either permanent or biodegradable. A neighbour made a great trellis from pieces of bamboo tied together in a trellis pattern. Any kind of stick will do. I respect all your wonderful gardening advice Luke, but because of plastic damage all over the planet I feel we gardeners need to use alternatives that don't cause damage. It goes hand in hand with being an organic gardener.
