After many years of trying different trellising methods for tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet potatoes, I have found what I think is the most ideal way to trellis vegetables.

I use two 5 or 6 foot T Posts, available at any farm store for about $5-$6.  Setting these posts requires a post pounder.  These are about $20.  Then I get a cattle panel which are between $20-$22.  They are 16 feet long, so I have them cut when I purchase them.  They are always willing to do this.  I love these because they store flat, are so sturdy and will last for years, and the grids are plenty large to get my hand through.  I use them all over my yard.  I have my grapes growing on them, winter squash, and all my climbing vegetables.



These clips can be purchased on amazon or at Johnny's Seeds.  They are reusable, easy to use and gentle on the plants.
