You really inspired me to try and do a scrog outdoors this season. We live in a house where our neighbors yards and ours are unfenced so you can see directly into the backyard. There is a spot I have picked out but I'm going to need to camoflauge it with some other tall plants to hide them. I might set up a cucumber trellis around it so that they aren't so noticeable from afar.Well, I have 2 scrogs set up in the garden already... I might move them so I can fit a couple more... of course that means digging new holes and extra manual labor lol. I'll likely need to have a few at a second location like I usually do, not sure if I'll scrog there or not. I do enjoy a good scrogging though, so I would like to scrog as much as I can.
I put morning glories, tall cosmos, sometimes beans around the inner garden fence. Sunflowers on the north side and to block the line of sight from my side entrance.You really inspired me to try and do a scrog outdoors this season.

You can make or buy screens. Even burlap ones will last a season. Patterned ones in a wooden frame look nice. As does the newer pvc sheets.You really inspired me to try and do a scrog outdoors this season.

I looked at that as an option but around here it gets windy sometimes so I'd have to actually build some sort of skeleton to hang the panels off of. For that matter I might as well rebuild the greenhouse we had that got blown over.You can make or buy screens. Even burlap ones will last a season. Patterned ones in a wooden frame look nice.

Something like this but better colour.
PVC Lattice 4' x 8' - Black
This Barrette Lattice is a modern take on traditional style. The PVC lattice is designed to last longer than traditional wood lattice, while maintain...www.rona.ca
We use tall t shaped metal fence post and metal fence for cucumbers.cheap works good .I looked at that as an option but around here it gets windy sometimes so I'd have to actually build some sort of skeleton to hang the panels off of.

Like chain link?We use tall t shaped metal fence post and metal fence for cucumbers.cheap works good .
Well, my scrog with 2 plants was about 4x7.5 and the one biggest was about the same but had a little space left on one side. I think I'll stretch them out more and keep them lower this year. It depends a lot on strain and location too, how big they get. I used the 2x3 square size coated metal fence, the hammer in metal posts and some zip ties to make my scrog and it didn't budge.I looked at that as an option but around here it gets windy sometimes so I'd have to actually build some sort of skeleton to hang the panels off of.

The scrog is mostly to keep the height down.
@TSD - How large an area do you think I'll need if I plant now and harvest in October? Planning on planting 8 plants. 6 Florida Strawberry and 2 Moonglow.
Nice!! I like using 6" cement mesh for vertical trellising.Ya chain link would work.we use something cheaper with large squares so.you can reach through and pick the sneaky ones.the taller the better.i think we stacked to 4 foot rolls.on top of each other.
Is that the footprint of the space or how tall they got?Well, my scrog with 2 plants was about 4x7.5 and the one biggest was about the same but had a little space left on one side.

The footprint/size of the actual scrog screen... and they could have been spread out more but I left for a week during stretch and they got away from me. Height wise they were probably around 4 to 4.5 feet, this year I plan on trying to keep them a bit lower by starting the scrog a little sooner, lowering it maybe half a foot, and topping, which I did not do last year. It was still a vast improvement in stealth and ease of maintenance from the previous year, when they were like 7 feet and I needed a ladder to tend them. Plan on improving the method this year now that I know it works.Is that the footprint of the space or how tall they got?
Yeah I did on the later ones after I figured out it needed to be moist to stick, I sprinkled half in the hole and half around the actual roots.I like to sprinkle some of the Myko on the sides of the hole so that you get a nice fungus ball all around the root ball.
I don't want to, but will probably have to... we shall see.Looking real good, I just transplanted yesterday also. Will you go one size up? I figure i will have to because it will be about 6 weeks until i can go in the ground.
