Hi there. I have been watching your videos and just subscribed. I'm a grower of rare and weird tropical plants. You can see them on my channel. I love veggies too but have always had terrible luck with them. I'm in Florida and mostly bugs eat everything each year so I gave up for a time. This year I am growing tomatoes under lights on my patio along with my tropical carnivorous plants. Your videos are helping me because this is my first time growing tomatoes in pots and my first time growing peppers. I love your garden. Wish I could grow open air like that. I like the idea of ropes. I look forward to seeing your plants grow.

I'm new at gardens, 2nd season. I thank anyone who comments in advance for their help. I have my plants started (very nicely) inside, my trellis is built. But I don't understand why you let more string out. Wouldn't staking the string into the soil and attaching it to the trellis make it taut? And then, as the tomato plant grows wouldn't you just add more clips?
@ScottHead
Жыл бұрын
Yes, I add more clips as it grows, but once it reaches the top of the trellis, I let more string out and move the hook over a bit so that the lower part of the tomato plant leans down onto the ground. It has no leaves down there, we prune off all leaves except the uppermost 12 leafy branches. Prune once a week.

How do you think this would hold up with just one 10' piece of 1/2" EMT? What stops it from sliding some to side and possibly falling outside the 1 1/4" PVC fittings affixed to the top of the T posts? Of course, I'd try to give it 8-12" extra length outside the T posts so they'd probably need to be put 8.5 feet apart and not 10 feet if doing a single EMT conduit with two T posts. I was thinking of cutting up a foam pool noodle and jamming if to make a 'gasket of sorts to stop side to side movement in the EMT conduit under this scenario. Not sure if there are better ideas. Any thoughts? I enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work. Also, what height T posts do you recommend? I assume 7 or 8' high ones.
