If, like me, you endlessly battle birds, squirrel, rabbit, groundhog, deer, etc - use this premise as framework (think square as opposed to linear) to throw 3/4” netting over your garden plots. Roll any extra netting over conduit at the base of opposing sides, and affix hooks on the end posts so you can just lift and hang the base conduit/netting to access the garden. Game-changer.

I've used these kinds of trellises for years. Easy to set up, take down and store. I don't use PVC elbows on the ends. I use PVC T's with a little bit longer conduit sticking out each end.

Yes! - Ever since Josh Sattin’s video (A Trellis to Make You Jealous) came out (May, 2019), I have been using the T-Post, conduit, and string method for trellising my indeterminate tomatoes. You are correct. It works great. Love it! I also like your improvement with the PVC elbows at each end. Thanks! Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 4/29/2023.

Travis, we use the same conduit trellis system, but I add another row of conduit zip-tied near the bottom of the T-posts. That lets me keep the tomato clip string taught since it's tied at both the top and bottom (no chance of pulling out like a landscape staple might have), and also lets me add Hortanova trellis in parts for other climbing plants. Either way that is the best trellis I've seen and we are on our 3rd year with our components. I use 4' bamboo stakes cut in half to 2' length for my peppers. It provides enough support for the plant when attached with a "tape tool" for the life of the plant (just add more tape loops higher up as it grows). I was surprised to find if I pull the bamboo up at the end of the season, it seems to last multiple years. I have some that is starting it's 4th season. If you have not seen a tape tool, they ware a great thing to have in the garden. Easy to use and makes a trellis or stake connection in about 1/2 second.

Gotta love WONKY. Thanks for showing how easy both kinds of tomato trellis are to set up this week.

You are the only one I could find that actually gave sizes for all the piping and connectors! THANK YOU! I'm surprised the Ts are only 1 1/4"... they look bigger but nice to know the size so I get the right ones. Thanks again! :)

I did this PVC stuff, and it kept falling, and it cost quite a bit. Then I just ordered some super heavy duty black zip ties. I criss cross them around the post top making an X. IT worked. I put 8 tomato plants per conduit between two posts. Perfect. These are on 2nd year and holding strong.

Thanks for being specific on the names of all the parts! I want to do that trellis someday, don't have time this year. And being 72, female and having a bad back isn't helping! I'll be tying my tomato strings to the neighbor's large crepe myrtles behind our back fence (don't tell our neighbor!). lol

I admire your garden- its so spacious and open to the sunshine. I live in western Washington with tall trees! And deer!!

Your subs are really growing! So happy to see. I never miss a video, you have taught me so much.

Very cool. I did something similar in the past but just zip tied the pole on the top of the T-post. I like your setup better. Thanks for sharing.

Nice. I’ve used T-posts for years now with electric fence wire and twine. I think I like the conduit idea for reuse. Timely video as it’s getting time to think about staking indeterminate tomatoes. Thank you.

Great trellis Travis and I use this trellis inside my cat tunnel for peas and works the charm, also for stringing up heaving pepper plants. Great trellis for sure!!!!

I did the same technique except I used long pieces of rebar. 10' lenghs about the same price as pvc but much sturdier.

Thanks for the video and the idea. We have a slew of indeterminates that are now over 7 feet tall in one of our 4'X8' raised beds. The tomato plants are still growing and blooming and producing after a very hot summer (AZ many 110+ temps) and several weeks of near freezing temps in Jan and early Feb. We have harvested over 150#s of tomatoes in the past 7 weeks. Yep that is 150 pounds. We have a PVC set up (vertical and horizonal) with wire mesh on top to which we strung the plants up to as they grew. Now the plants are over the top of the mesh and pretty much overloading the PVC pipes. I already have some metal t-poles (7') in the ground supporting the vertical PVCs. I will remove/replace the horizontal PVC with metal conduit and yank out the vertical PVC poles and use your setup in a modified version. I'll set up one of our 3 4x8 raised beds with this new set up and wait to see when and if the current plants start dying off before changing out the PVC stuff. Our beds are in our back yard as we live in an urban neighborhood and have limited space.

A fig cocktail sounds good after gardening in the sun! Notorious F.I.G.! Funny but I looked it up.....

Thank you for your time & effort in explaining your system. I have tomato plants in, all the TPosts and EMT & couplings, and will be installing tomorrow. Wish me luck!!

Thanks for demonstrating the tomato trellis again. I’m going to try it this year.

I used a trellis system like that last year from my son gold tomatoes. Except instead of using conduit I used high tensile electric fence wire for the top. I also used bailing twine for the plant support with tomato clips, but the problem I ran into was the in the beginning the string would not stay stationary in the ground with the steaks I used. So this year I think I'm actually going to venture out and try planting on top of the string maybe tie a stick around it then plant on top of the string and maybe it will hold a little bit better Don't know what I did wrong last year but that's my plan to give it a try this year! I enjoy all of your great videos content as well as information and learning from you keep up the good work neighbor

😂😂 I thought you may have put a bit too much "brute force" into that last t-post and driven it too far in. Glad you told why it was lower. It was messing with me until you explained. 😂😉👍

I hope your gonna be as impressed with the Edox as i have been. Im a bit ahead and they are absolutely knocking the socks off every other cherry tomato im growing. Blown away with the production and overall vigor! Super long trusses loaded down. Real early variety as well!

Nice and simple. I always make things too complicated. Thanks

I will definitely try this next season, I am tired of building cages and storing them. Thanks for the info.

On my third season of using that tomato trellis system. Nix the connectors and just push both ends thru the pvc one less cost and they can come loose with heat and weight

I am down here in Thomasville Ga that’s some great ideas thanks for sharing love your videos I will keep watching them ps Gods blessings for you and your family and gardening 🙏

Great idea of doing this 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

I love this idea!

We had a landscape nursery (hospital) staging area in our side lot and Hurricane Ian ruined everything. We tore it all out and man it's the best dirt I've seen in SWFL. It's full of good fishing worms and I just planted all my peppers, okra, tomatoes and Seminole Pumpkins in it.

Thanks Travis. If it was me, I would lash the conduit and fittings down to the T posts so it can't lift off in strong winds. Use that same kind of twine that you use for the Florida weave. Cheers, Chuck in Jensen Beach FL.

Nice Travis plants looking good😊

Had some rebra left over use them with all pvc 1 1/4. I place my post so the rebar can overlap through the T's.

Suggestion…couple all three pieces of conduit together on the ground …then slide the T-post PVC onto the coupled conduit ...then just lift it up onto the T posts.. So your not having to try to couple the conduit together reaching up and screwing the couplers while holding the conduit.

Love your setup. Great educational video!

Serrano, orange jalapeno, Jamez pueblo peppers, you have to try Antep Aci Dolma peppers a shot, have become an every year pepper for me , Super sweet with a little bit of heat. The best stuffed peppers ever

PVC Tees are great! But they are selling around twenty dollars a pc now. I use weave for tomato's and sometimes cucumbers. Great video!

I like your plan

Im using this for english peas this year and pole beans

You can also put up a 40% shade cloth if you need it also with the t post

I would drill the ends and put a bolt and nut in and it wouldn't fall by accident.

Flowers! Put flowers in that extra space. I'm excited to grow some chamomile and cosmos this summer. Also got some ageratum.

That's a real pretty trellis and it works good. I do something a little different cause my tomatoes get so much taller than this. I use 10' conduit for my uprights. Some of those cherry tomatoes will get to 10' real quick.

It’s called “ the trellis to make you jealous “ I saw it on another KZfaq channel. It’s great if you can afford it.

Used the tall trellis for years when the garden was much bigger. Now my heirloom indeterminate tomatoes are far apart from each other in heavy cages. The line meathod seemed to spread disease easier in my area. Probably fine for hybrids however.

Plastic conduit will bend much more than metal, so well that I make hoops from it. Maybe add more posts with the metal tubing?

Here in Charlotte, we have rock hard clay soil. You're missing the part of how you are driving the t-post into the ground.

How about some eggplants in that extra space? Never really hear you say much about them. But a second planting of summer squash does sound good!

did you tie your string directly to the tomato plant?

Travis I have another question for you. Grafting. Grafting tomatoes. Have you ever grafted tomatoes? Grafting is touted to add vigor to your plant, expanded vegetative growth, uptick in production and it is supposed to give better resistance to disease Is it difficult to graft tomatoes? Does the benefit outweigh the added labor? What root stock or stocks can one use? .

What’s the square foootage of your growing lot? Looks great!!

I lost all of my san mazaros to a cold day. Gonna get some plugs.

I love Hot Tar honey! YUM!

As my garden grows, I use mostly raised beds, but some plants I want to direct grow in the ground. I am have huge issues with rabbits. An suggestions on how to keep them away from the vegetable plants. I dont mind them there but not eating my garden

Great method for tomatoes . Is this 3/4” conduit?

I still prefer cattle panels. Just place them higher off the ground to the top of your t post.

how do you put the Florida weave together?

Has anyone tried to use the conduits as the vertical posts instead of the T posts for uniformity? Im gearing up to build mine but im torn on which to use. I want all conduit to make it more visually appealing but worry it will just slowly bury itself deeper over time losing height under the weight. I've considered making a lil flat wooden "foot" to bury under ground for each vertical pole to prevent that but ive no idea if it'd work. Does anyone have any experience with conduits as vertical posts that can advise me?

Do I need a connector if I am only using one piece of conduit? Do I need anything to secure the elbow and conduit?

Hey Travis, so I have Fooled you jalapeños and a couple varieties of sweet peppers. Never knew to stake them. Should I do this as well? I have the vertical string trellises on my tomatoes also

Travis, can you take cuttings from determinate tomatoes and transplant like suckers on an indeterminate tomato?

Looks good, but my tomatoes grow to about 10 to 15 feet every year

How are you securing and tightening tomato twine from the conduit trellis above to the ground/plant? I can’t find that step anywhere. What is on the bottom to attach twine to?

Corn question- I planted my super sweet corn early March. I’m in zone 8b. It is only about 16-18 tall. Doesn’t seem to be shooting up as quick as it should. I have side dressed it a couple times with nitrogen. Maybe I’m not putting out as much fertilizer as I should. The corn is on drip and stays watered well. Any salvaging this corn? What would you suggest? Thanks! Robin in Bergheim, TX

What happened to the overwintered habaneros

What do you use to trellis peppers?

What size conduit in diameter?

Metal or PVC conduit?

Wasn’t this the Hoss Tool channel before? 🤔

What size conduit? Your connectors said 3/4" but not sure if that is actual inside diameter of connector or the pipe to use it on?

Do you prune the suckers with your trellis?

Travis are you using p 1 “ pvc conduit, 1 “ ent conduit or 1” ridgit conduit for the top pieces

I've seen several different videos of this same method & I did this last summer. I will not use conduit again! Some of my tomato plants were too heavy for the conduit. They bent terribly & one actually came crashing to the ground with 3 plants on it. A lot of others were bent & borderline ready to go down. Next yr. I'm going to use strong, stiff PVC pipe (maybe schedule 80.) Not sure why this is shown with conduit when even though it's metal, it's not strong enough to support heavy tomato plants.

???? Hello.. How deep do I put the 7' ft tpost?

Hey Trav, look up any chemtrails Dawg?

This guy likes to grow fire.

My tomatoes get 8 to 9 feet tall mine will break pvc in a setup like that

That trellis is not tall enough for indeterminate tomatoes. They will grow to the top and then fall over and grow downward.

Build this in 5 min. But the video last almost 13min something wrong here

WHY THE HELL DOES IT TAKE A 12 MIN. VIDEO TO SHOW HOW TO BUILD A TRELIS IN 5 MIN.?

Do you ever have rabbits deer coons get in garden
