I got it on amazon! It came w zip ties and big clips and I haven’t used those yet, I use Velcro plant ties I bought at Lowe’s. The trellises are nice tho bc they’re attachable

"15 ugly ideas to make your neighbors hate you for ruining the attractiveness of the area."

FFS, these were horrible.

Here's a legitimately cheap garden fence:

Drive .5 inch-thick 4-foot long rebar 2-feet into the ground, space 5-10 feet apart, these will be the foundation for your vertical posts. Slide .5 inch EMT conduit over the top of the rebar, creating vertical posts, and cut the conduit to whatever vertical length you desire. On the top, install a T-joint and use more EMT conduit as horizontal spanners. Paint the EMT conduit (if you so desire) and put a weather resistant clear coat over the top. Next, use Nylon Trellis of any length and size you want. If you want privacy, go for nylon trellis that has smaller openings (the 5-inch opening is the smaller size), tie the trellis to the EMT conduit to make sure it's taught. Finally, plant some sugar snap peas every 3 inches, or any other climbing plant. Most summer squash works well too. If you want it to last through the winter, ask your nursery what ivy or other climbers work in your area.

10-foot lengths of EMT conduit are about $1.90 each, the rebar is about $2, and the T-joints about $4. So, you can do a decent sized backyard for about $50-$100, including seeds.

As long as the nylon stays taught it looks aesthetically good. The nylon I've used has lasted 3 summers without any signs of breakdown, and the EMT conduit is just fine. Even spaced 10-feet apart and 10-feet high, these can support nearly 100 pounds of produce. If you want a stronger fence, put your vertical posts closer and use concrete to set in the rebar foundation posts. If you want more privacy, consider planting a larger variety of plants, and give your plants nutrients to make sure they're thriving.

Never seen those before! They could be fine, although most of the moss poles I’ve seen are much thicker because they’re PVC wrapped in moss/coir.

This is the one I have:

I wish my eye was that great! Thanks to you providing the name of the tent, I was able to look it up.

Okay, to set it up in high winds, try imagining it in high winds. Let's also pretend that the pin and ring system will hold securely in the end of the pole.

Pull out the end of your tent you want facing into the wind out and stake it down. Unroll the rest of your tent. Slide all your tent poles through and secure the far end. Finish pushing the tent poles through to create the arch, but leave the arches on the ground. When the tent poles are all in, pull out the other end of the tent to pop up the tent, and stake it down. Now put in the rest of the stakes and guylines.

Doing it this way kind of works with the wind instead of against it.

Bigger stakes are a good idea. Stakes pulling out is a big reason why big tents fail. Using the guy lines will also help the tent keep its shape in the wind and prevent the poles from bending to failure. I love that you can go crazy with stakes when you're car camping, so you could use these bonkers stakes if you wanted to...and there are even more extreme stakes available. That said, I usually use these stakes and 3d print new heads when the originals break.

u/HomeGrownFood · 3 pointsr/CascadianPreppers

> Are potatoes and peas a best bet?

Yes, and they complement each other really well as companions in the same bed/pot. Add some squash and corn in the mix, then you'll really be cooking with fire. The best way to optimize peas and squash is to grow them on a nylon trellis. You'll get stupid amounts of squash.

If calories is your primary goal, think about livestock. You can easily do rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, and pigeons locally with little effort. If you have space, think about pigs and goats or lamb.

The other option is processing and preserving your food. A handful of tomatoes is going to have a low caloric output, but if you grow 125 pounds of tomatoes and reduce that to 12 pounds of tomato sauce or 6 pounds of tomato paste, those are very calorie dense. Same with squash: cook it to break down the fibers, slow heat to boil off the water, then add some curry powder and spices - you've got calorie dense pumpkin curry to throw in the freezer.

I ordered them on Amazon, here is the link ! They took a bit to get here from China, but they work amazing! And look pretty cool, I think!

All I want is a simple metal trellis for my monstera adansonii. The company that made the trellis' in the picture (Trellis Works) seems to have gone out of business a few years ago. Their website is dead, and their tumblr/instagram/pinterest haven't been updated since 2016.

The closest I could find is this on Amazon, but I'd like more options :(

This spring I started a garden on my deck in Philadelphia. This was really the first time I gardened anything seriously and I’ve enjoyed myself immensely. Skip to the bottom for the album of it all.

I primarily started my plants from seeds without researching how they grow:

  • Sugar Baby Watermelon

  • Burpless Cucumbers

  • Sungold Cherry Tomatoes

  • Campari Tomatoes

  • Spaghetti Squash (purchased plant)

  • Green Bell Peppers (purchased plant)

    I quickly realized that I needed to be creative about how to manage these plants as a lot of them grow out instead of staying compact. Once the plants outgrew their medium sized pots, I needed a different solution. The major unlock for me was finding CaliKim's container gardening videos on YouTube that recommended planter bags. She also has a great method of making cage trellises that work perfectly in the bags she recommended.

  • Container Gardening Video (there are more!)

  • DIY Cage Trellis Video - I followed this one almost exactly

  • Welded Wire fencing for the cages

  • VIVOSUN 20-gallon planter bags were a major unlock to getting this system to work. The mobility is awesome. The red one with the spaghetti squash is a different brand (Root Pouch?) and is only 15-gallons. I strongly recommend getting 20-gallons for vegetables as they like deep routes for the most part. My squash is doing fine, but it’s definitely been slower than the bigger bags

  • Half-Pallets I got for free from work to help get my plants off the ground and avoid rotting and promote drainage

    With this starting point I was able to get these plants into a compact space and still be able to thrive. Because I’ve got everything on top of each other there is some inter-mingling but for the most part things stay in their cages.

    My deck faces south and with the egregious Philadelphia summer I sometimes have to water twice a day to keep everything happy. I have done a lot of pruning to keep the plants reigned in and not way overgrow their plot.

    As the project progressed I realized I needed bamboo stakes to stabilize the cages and my non caged plants, and a few other random items listed below:

  • Bamboo stakes for stability

  • Velcro ties to guide plants where needed

  • Shears for pruning

  • Garden Netting used to make watermelon hammocks

    The watermelon needed hammocks to fend off gravity in this system, pole around YouTube for different ways people have done this

    In my research I got disheartened several times because many said growing watermelon or cucumber or squash in a compact space is extremely challenging and arguably not worth it. At that point I had already started the plants and I decided to give it a try anyway. To my delight things have turned out very well, and I wanted to share with any other urban gardeners who think they don’t have enough space for veggies.

    Next year I would grow more cucumbers and cage them instead of stake them (or maybe both). For the winter my plan is to leave the bags and soil outside and see how they hold up. It seems like they are able to handle snow / excess moisture without too much issue.

I found a no name branded version of this Velcro at the dollar store for a couple bucks.

https://www.amazon.ca/VELCRO-Brand-Adjustable-Gardens-Gardening/dp/B00NC5C38W

It’s meant for gardening but has been awesome for cable management. I was able to route all my cables in one chunk all together and use about 8-10 inches of this stuff to strap up the “trunk of cables” all together is every foot or so. It works awesome. Super cheap, can be taken off and reattached and has held fine for me so far. It’s not the strongest Velcro but for a few cables it has worked for me.

u/jwegan · 2 pointsr/OregonEclipse

Winds at Burning Man can exceed 60mph and will pick up anything that isn't secured properly. At BM everyone uses 2-3 foot rebar to secure their tents from blowing away in the strong winds (or the new hotness, 18" lag bolts).

Sounds like the organizers think the winds at the location are strong enough to warrant using rebar.

If you've never used rebar before, you need a small sledgehammer to drive them into the ground, vice grips to pull them out, tennis balls to cap the ends to people don't slash their legs open when stumbling over them in the night. Also if you get rebar with a loop at the end or J hook rebar they are much easier to pull out since you can use another piece of rebar as leverage when pulling it out.

u/snmnky9490 · 2 pointsr/microgrowery

You can probably lower the HPS a bit, and the CFLs can be as close as you can get them without touching leaves. Looks great aside from the stretching though! You can keep them up by tying to a bamboo stake like one of these that you might be able to find at like Home Depot or Lowes or whatever or to a clean long thin stick, but you might actually want to tie/bend them away from the center instead of straight up so you can keep the light closer

u/EveryNightIWatch · 2 pointsr/Portland

Yeah, those are all looking pretty good. You could probably harvest a lot of that big kale leafs.

Also, for cucumbers, try growing them vertically by constructing a trellis above them. Cucumbers and pumpkins do best when growing vertically as it exposes more flowers to the air (and pollinators).

I like this style: https://www.amazon.com/Gardeneer-Dalen-Trellis-Heavy-Duty-Tangle-Free/dp/B000BZ8FXS/

Also: sweet pad.

u/MsManifesto · 2 pointsr/gardening

I tried to control by picking last year (my first year), and it is a lot of work for very little success. This year, I bought this row cover, which I'll support with wire hoops I bend out of yard scraps and garden staples. I haven't tried it, but everyone says BT works really well. You may still have time to fashion some row covers, though.

u/bull0143 · 2 pointsr/Monstera

Yeah I was thinking there was some trick to this but there isn't! You literally just stick in your stake into the bottom of the pot and try to pack in enough soil around it to stabilize it, then add the plant and more soil (don't pack too hard around the roots, just the stake).

Also if you're planning to buy your own instead of DIY this is the one I picked, I like it because it's made of PVC pipe (so it will never rust because there is no metal), it's pre-treated for pests (I've seen some reviews on sphagnum moss poles saying they were infested) and it's made of coco coir which is a renewable resource (not all moss is). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TN3W1VS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've used the same ones 3 times and they've survived, I've heard of the loops breaking off for some people but I've ripped them outta the ground using the loops for leverage and they've held for me :)

u/zpapp · 1 pointr/Irrigation

Thanks, that sounds like a good approach.

Do you think this 18" stake would be good enough?

Or do you have a specific 2 foot long product in mind? The 2 foot long ones I've found so far look like they would rust easily (and don't look like much of a stake...).

u/chalkiest_studebaker · 1 pointr/microgrowery

The fabric was pretty stretchy on the trellis to begin with, so it was just a matter of pulling it tight enough when I setup the bungee cords, then cutting the leftovers. Here is the one I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CJJ7WV0/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I only started it in early flowering but it's been helpful to keep the 3 strains a similar height. That cheese in the front left wants to take off for the sky.

u/douglas_in_philly · 1 pointr/gardening

I don't have many pictures to share, but to prevent deer from getting into my 60' x 20' garden, I did the following:


I bought 18 seven foot long metal U-posts from Lowes ($6.98 each), and drove them into the ground (with a damn sledgehammer, while standing on a plastic chair set on cardboard so it wouldn't sink into the ground, since the post driver tools I had access to weren't big enough for the size of the U-post). Once in the ground, that left about 5.5 feet of post above ground. I have seven posts on each side (the 60 foot lengths) and then two additional posts on the 20 foot ends to provide a doorway/gate opening.

I had purchased 7.5 foot high wildlife netting (about $20/pack, and I bought 3 packs), which I'd thought would work well with the 7 foot posts (leaving some extra to pin to the ground to prevent animals from digging under it), but while I was aware of the fact that driving the posts into the ground would result in less height, I don't think I knew it would be a foot and a half less. I had read deer can jump over fences less than 8 feet high, so--while I wouldn't go to 8 feet--I wanted more height than the 5.5' I had. So I bought 36 eight foot long treated pine furring strips ($1.97/piece so about $72 total), to fasten to each of the metal posts to provide additional height.

I positioned the posts on the long side at ten foot intervals, and the gate openings are about 8 feet from each corner. I then took two furring strips and would lie them on the ground, and cut a piece of netting to the necessary length to go between each set of posts, and then stapled the netting to the posts. I then took the "panel" of netting, and using zip ties, fastened the furring strips to the metal posts.

I had initially been thinking the netting would run as one continuous length for the full 60 foot length of each side, but I decided to put it together in "panels," if you will, both because I thought it would be less likely to sag (since the lengths would only be about 10 feet long, and because I thought it would be easier to keep them taut at shorter lengths), and also because I realized I could also conceivably remove the 10 foot panels of netting (while still fastened to the furring strips), and roll them up for winter storage (figuring the weight of snow and/or ice on the netting would likely cause problems).

When I started making the panels, I left about 12 inches of netting hanging below the bottom of the furring strips, thinking it would be useful in preventing animals from crawling/digging under the net, but I later realized that the extra netting at the bottom would likely just make my life harder when it came to weeding, and that my neighboring gardeners (I'm at a community garden) would be more likely to step on it, get caught on it, inadvertently pull it out, etc. I was also losing an extra foot in "fence" height by leaving that extra net hanging off of the bottom. So about halfway through my panel construction, I started keeping the net flush with the bottom of the furring strips, and instead putting it up about a foot higher on the strip. I need to go back and re-staple the ones at the lower height, so that they're all the same height.

The doorway/gates are just smaller panels, one size zip-tied to a metal post, and the other with a zip tie left loose so that it can slip over the top of the metal post on the other side to allow for opening/closing the door/gate.

Some pictures....it's hard to even see the netting, but trust me, it's there.

The plot before any fencing.

After the fence was in place, looking toward the back of the garden. "Gate" at left corner.

After the fence was in place, looking toward the front of the garden. "Gate" at center.

u/Pizzabagelpizza · 1 pointr/gardening

I cover plants that already have cages or supports. Individually or sometimes in pairs. The netting drapes over the top and I secure the bottoms with a few garden staples. I just pull out a staple or two and lift the netting when I want to access the plant.

I use this type of netting, cut to fit. If I were going to try to do a wider area, I would use something more like a micromesh with hoop supports. That allows you to do a bigger area and the birds and animals won't get stuck in it like they would in a netting.
