We have built two hog panel trellises for our front garden this year. We are using the advise from the YouTube channel Mini Meadows Farm Oklahoma, and the photos below come from this video. You should watch her video as it is full of excellent information. I am just posting these stills from the video to remind me of some of the most pertinent facts to me.
For the first row of plants nearest the trellis, plant seeds 6 inches apart and
two inches away from the wood.
For the second row, plant seeds 8 inches from the first row and in between the first set of plants.
This is so that you can train the second row to also grow across and up the trellis. If any of the second row plants try to set fruit before reaching the trellis, snip them off.
Once any of the plants reach the trellis cut pieces of twist ties and anchor them to the trellis every 8-12 inches or as needed.
