Growing Vertically in Small Spaces - Examples of Vertical Gardening Trellis Methods

[Siticum]

Say, if I want to grow horizontal, what materials do I need?

[sundogforlove]

Hi John. How about doing a video on kiwis. I live in los angeles and I have only found one place in temecula that sells kiwi plants and I have tried without luck to start the seeds from store bought kiwi. Also, there is not a lot of info out there on kiwis. Thanks

That rusty wire grate that you were referring to can be painted with rust or plastic paint. Use a little roller for a quick application. I use green for my moss planters and it lasts - might use some bright colours this year just for fun... It really doesn't use much paint. Thanx for all your great videos!

[EcoHabitat00]

Thanks 4 sharing. Nice vid!

I'm learning alot by watching your videos!  My two daughters in their 30's are part Korean. Their Dad was born in Seoul Korea so I made sure that they saw your visit to Seoul Korea! :-) Love Gardening!

I use the wire fencing for my pole beans. It works perfectly. Btw, it takes ages and ages for the rust to break the fencing and rust is not harmful to your plants or you. I've never had a problem with it and the beans rarely complain. When they do complain I just smack them around because I'm not a fan of whiney beans. :)

yaye, perfect video for some inspiration on verticle trellises (and now I really want some apple trees too... hmm)

I wonder if there is some sort of non-toxic paint or something you could put on that remesh...? possibly worth looking into for those who like the idea but not the rust ;)

[mreisma]

how do you spell that french word of growing a tree flat, i'd like to see if i can do that with a meyer's lemon tree.

espalier

[jeannedelafeuillee]

@mreisma good idea - if you use the method to create a tree 'espalier' against a warm, sheltered south-facing wall you can avoid early blossoming trees like almond or peach losing all their petals and pollen on the first cold blowy day after a warm start to spring!

hey john, have you ever juiced the chayote leaves? i buy the tips at the market but i was wondering how the big leaves tasted.

[growingyourgreens]

I was told that only the tips can be eaten raw. I didnt think the whole leaves tasted that good. I dont know if I would juice a large quantity of them.. I would prefer to juice other greens.

[phantomcreamer]

I've been wanting to see a video about different trellising, thanks! If you come to my place, please don't shake my trelises.

[jamesdt02]

hey john. the concrete grids you refer to is called re-mesh. awesome video as usual. thank, James.

[growingyourgreens]

Thanks James. Sometime I dont know all the technical names. I bought them once, I personally didnt like how they rusted.

[boostedgsrfoadoa]

ok im not jealous anymore im pissed i kid i kid like the other comments say this is the best garden channel i have found. HEY JOHN have you ever heard of mike adams the health ranger?????

[growingyourgreens]

Thanks. Yes, I do know Mike Adams. He has alot of good info.

[Michigansnowpony]

As usual, great video John! Stock panels (for livestock containment) come in a variety of heights and grid spacing, are 16' long, won't rust, are heavy duty, and retail for about $24 each. I've grown squash and melons on mine -- they would easily support tomatos as well. You can find them at Tractor Supply Stores (TSC), and other farm stores.

[growingyourgreens]

I agree. the "hog fencing" or livestock panels are the best, but get expensive. Thats what I use and reccomend the most..

[TheSavvySwed]

Cool video.

[Necrowitch]

oooo i love it!

[btigtime2]

You have one of the best garden shows on you-tube.
