Finished Setup of Bean Trellis
Setting up the actual poles for my beans was done way in the beginning right after I tilled the garden. I don’t finish the setup until the beans start growing the runners that they will use to grab on and climb up the poles. Instead of using the poles I like to add rope which they will use for support.
This is a little bit different from what many others will tell you to setup a support structure for pole beans. This is just the way I do it and it seems to work for me just fine. It is basically a string type trellis that I build to hold the weight of my beans. Take a look at what it looks like when it is completed. (more…)
