You say you don't like string but why? I run one piece of string across my 4x8 pvc frame zig zagged a few inches apart, come harvest time you cut both ends and it all pulls out. Now I can hang whole plants or easily chop and move on.
Trellis netting is a pain to cut out.
I also really like placing 6-8 stakes in each bed with a piece of string looped around the top, I snap my plant yo yos onto the top and am able to keep the canopy where I want, come harvest time the yoyos are super easy to remove from the plant.
this was my solution to that problem. its called hog fence, you can get it at most feed supply stores. it comes 48"x16' they can cut it to 4x8 for you. you can get 6 inch squares or 4 inch squares. its galvanized so it won't rust or corrode i suspend it with four ratchets since it is rigid it doesn't sag much and it can be raised as the garden grows. easy to pull through as well.I currently raise meds in a 4'x8' drain table with PVC support sides and then trellis my plants using bamboo sticks attached with zip ties to the PVC supports.
I do not like to use string, yarn, or netting as it is too messy and hard to harvest your crop and these techniques make it difficult to reuse your items.
In my next growing facility I am thinking about using 4'x8' sheets of plywood covered with white plastic raised above the floor on cinder blocks. I would place my plants on these raised 'tables' so I can walk down my aisles and keep my plants off the cold floor. The aisles would be 36-42 feet long with no sides to these tables.
My question is what type of trellis system could I use other than placing bamboo sticks in each pot for support and spreading purposes?
I have researched tomato trellis', but I don't think anything horizontal would work too well.
Love the fact you are tinkering on a 'Guest Check'...i used one continual piece of hemp and just wound it back and forth wrapping around the screws before going back across. to make the net action you just weave it over then under, but wrapping your roll of hemp around each string as you go so it makes somewhat of a knot so it actually stays in place instead of all your strings being loose. after its done go around with a hot glue gun where you wrapped the hemp around the screws and secure them. get the pvc fitting allowing you to remove the legs for easy storage. i can take the legs off and store it behind my tent or against any wall really. The photo of the finish piece was a little tall for the canopy i was seeking so i cut the legs down about a foot. i used to use bamboo as well but it got to be a pain tying up individual branches all the time. i have another cycle opposite of one in photo, its not terrible getting in and out as long as you dont stuff your space to the brim. i enjoy having space to get in and take care of things. mines small for personal medical purposes but here ya go hope it helps
the lady used to be a server at a winery...what can ya do lolLove the fact you are tinkering on a 'Guest Check'...
