How to Make a Cucumber Trellis for Your Container Garden

This video demonstrates how to build a cucumber trellis for your container garden using recycled materials.

Tools and materials:
Old bamboo poles found on the street (You can use anything that is sturdy enough and stands upright such as tree branches).

Tape

String

Scissors

Steps to build:
Cut the poles to your desired length. I cut mine at about 4 feet each.

Tape each pole to the container. I taped mine about 4 inches from the top of the container.

I tied the string about 6 inches from the bottom of the container to leave room to water through the pipe.

The string was wrapped around each pole with about 3-4 inches between each level of string until the top of the poles were reached.

The cucumber plant was then placed inside.

WoW! This is the coolest creative solution for my container garden creeper plant's trellix requirements. I am growing bitter gourd seedlings. :) I am so excited with this idea!

@divinita1000 Glad you likes.

@etraderx11 Part of me doing all of this is to reuse and repurpose. Be self-sufficient and not rely on big box stores.

Very creative idea. Why spend money on a metal trellis when you can make your own at home from scratch?

Anything we can do to stop supporting corporations, will give us that much more power back, in the end. Good job!
