The BEST Trellis for Tomatoes and Cucumbers

6 years ago
32

My first attempt at a lower and lean trellis system. It is typically a greenhouse technique but because of the unique weather and long growing season here in San Diego, I believe it will be an ideal system even outdoors. The proof will be in the pudding as they say.

I'll show you how I built it and how it's working today. I love this system and am very happy with it so far. I'm about to do my first lower and lean of the season which means all of my plants are now 6ft tall and ready for another 6ft of growth!

2 channel's videos that helped me design my trellis (It will help you to see theirs as well)
