  1. You are so helpful! Really appreciate your clear direction, and your love and energy. Thank you for sharing such valuable information and tips, I’m certain you have helped so many people.

  2. You can get FREE WOOD in odd sizes like 5/4 inches at places like Home Depot and Lowe's, if you are there at the right time. That wood is used to palletize lumber in the normal sizes. When the pallets are unloaded onto the store shelves, the odd-sized wood is simply thrown away. Sometimes it is hardwood, but usually softwood. The pieces are perfectly good for gardening or garden shelving. They come in various lengths, but none are very long, usually under 4 feet long. They have a groove cut into one side, but that is fine in many applications, and they are free!

  3. I actually recommend not securing the strings at the bottom when string trellising. The reason why string trellises are strong is because they move with the wind, which alleviates pressure, similar to what skyscrapers do. When you fix the strings at the ground level, they become rigid like a stake, so the plants take the full force of the wind. I have been through multiple tropical storms here in Wilmington, NC, using the string trellis method and the key is to never fix the strings down at the bottom. Let them sway.

  4. We live in colorado, and all of our cucumbers get about 4 inches tall with 4 or so true leaves, and then go pale and die. Inside, outside, greenhouse, new soil, compost, etc. They all die. Any ideas?

  5. We have woodchucks eating our cucumber plants. Can I shoot the woodchucks? if I get one, can we eat it? Do you have any good woodchuck recipes? Thank you. Love your videos!

  6. This is how we did our tomatoes last year and it worked out, so this year we used better wood, stained it too, so we hope the structure lasts into next year.

    Twine as rope was one thing we changed from our 1st try. We had to use different rope bc the twine deteriorates and breaks easily.

    Thanks for the helpful videos. Have a nice summer!

  7. James, I woke up this morning and wanted to know how to trellis my cucumbers. As soon as I opened YouTube, this video popped up, I haven’t even searched anything yet. Too cool! Thanks for everything, man!

  8. Great video. I grow my zucchini vertically also. I remove the bottom leaves as I harvest, and tie it to an old branch I place next to it, similar to the way you use the string. Stuck in the ground and fastened at the top. It's great for pollinators because this makes the flowers more visible.

  9. What do you do with all the garden produces?? Is that a community garden for group of people or just for your use?? i watched last year tomatoe prolific harvest in awe ! Wow . You don't look like a a place you could farm behind tall building s butseems all in nowing how you are doing everything right with great results .
