Gardening on a budget is possible when you use low cost trellises that last for decades. Our latest YouTube video shows how you can use found materials to build a trellis for vining crops in your garden.
Christy shares the story of the 27-year-old trellis in her community garden that was made from pipe that she found in the plot upon arrival. It’s been there all these years and you can build one like it for less money.
