My Idea for a Container Trellis

marc_groleau · June 10, 2012

I've grown tomatoes for many years but never in containers until this year. I decided to put the knowledge I've gained here to use and try a couple of containers to absorb the over-run of plants that won't fit in the ground. I must say the Cherokee Purples in this container are putting my ground garden to shame. Anyway, here is my idea that I put together today. The idea is to be able to fold the trellis up for easier storage at the end of the season. The weight of the container anchors the trellis and the weed whacker line keeps the trellis from laying over back wards. Looks to me like it's going to work out OK.
