I came across an article in the newspaper showing a tomato trellis that a local nursery used. I decided to give it a try and build one this year. I used 1" x 2" furring strips for the frame work. I ran the vertical strings spaced out about 6" apart.

| It is 4 ft wide at the base, 6 ft long and 7 ft tall. |
 |
| I have 3 tomato plants in the trellis |
 |
| The branches of the plants can be easily woven into the vertical strings to keep them growing straight. |
 |
| I did add some more cross members on the sides to support the branches. These guys just keep growing! |

This is probably a silly question but I am new at this. Did you tie the top of each plant to the string to hold it up?
ReplyDeleteAs the plants grow vertical, I weave the branches into the twine... every plant keeps going up...
