After reading BlackDove's blog about his DIY trellis, I got really inspired and decided to make one for my cherry tomato, that badly needs a trellis.
My cherry tomato without a trellis
Materials that I used
plastic pot, bamboo, pvc pipe, steel wire (I don't know what gauge, but I used a thicker one), Epoxy adhesive, wire cutter, hack saw, enamel paint, paint brush
1. Using your hacksaw, cut at least 5-6 inches of the pvc pipe (4 pieces). Sorry, but i'm not that good in using the hacksaw, which resulted to this uneven cut, but this will do.
3. Apply a generous amount of epoxy adhesive.
4. Attach the leg holder to the plastic pot, I used the steel wires to properly secure the leg holders.
5. Do step 4 to all the corners of the plastic pot, and insert all the trellis legs into the leg holders.
6. Apply some paint to the bamboo trellis, cut a desired length of steel wire to join all the four trellis legs
My first produce, cherry tomato!
2. Using a wire cutter, cut 4 inches of steel wire (8 pieces), this is to properly secure your leg holder.
