The downside is real…..you want the hedge trimmed back from the sidewalk, he loves that hedge so he won’t let you touch it!

Just stumbled on this video in my feed, thanks for this video. I went out to do my walk about and found 2 of my salvia literally flopped to the ground on my walkway. Found something for vines purchased from dollar store, looks horrible, your way is sooo much better. Now, when I find debris(sticks in my yard ) will know what to do with them. This is so simple and economical.

I think that even if one can see the wooden stakes you use, since they are so natural, they do not distract from the beauty of the plants at all. Thank you for sharing this kind of small tricks with us. Unless you have experience with gardening for some time, one might not think of such things.
