Thats a great question. You should if you can, my garden is not that large and the light is best there. I move and add a lot of soil each year to help with that issue.

Great comments. Whatever you choose to make your frame, growing vertically is the way to go.

Use PVC pipes instead. Much cheaper easier to drill and corrotion free...

[psychodelicdragon]

so that's $150.00 for what you did?? right?

kind of expensive, isn't it??

good idea otherwise!!

Question: Aren't you supposed to rotate your crops? Do you have to take this down every year and move it to a new location?

Why not use materials from the forest, including roots? That's much more environmentally friendly and free. Just get some fallen branches of appropriate length and lean them together into tripods tying them at the top with roots from some bushes, and so on.

Growing your cucumber? you have already grown one I am sure..!!

It would cost less than $25 if you use PVC. Doesn't look that great but very cheap.

@psychodelicdragon Considering how much money he's saving on produce, I think $150 is a pretty good deal!

@psychodelicdragon Look for a building supply resale place. Most major cities have them. Get it for a fraction of the price new.
