On today's Q&A, I'm going to answer a question I've received multiple times in the last few weeks,

and I have a feeling a lot of you are planning your garden layouts like I talked about on Tuesday's episode.

But the question is, what direction should my trellises face when it comes to vertical gardening?

This will depend on what kind of a trellis that you have.

You may have just a single vertical trellis like a cattle panel,

or you can have something like an a frame trellis like I have or an arch trellis like I also have

and you may have seen online.

And to me, you have a little bit more flexibility with the simple vertical trellis.

You can put it several different places. I would just focus if you have that simple vertical trellis, you can put it several different places.

I would just focus if you have that simple vertical trellis on making sure that you don't

plant anything really on its north side if possible because the north side, if you're in the

northern hemisphere, if you're in the southern hemisphere, switch all this. You don't want anything

planted there because it's not going to get enough sun. And so if you can in the southern hemisphere, switch all this. You don't want anything planted there

because it's not going to get enough sun.

And so if you can plant it where anything below it

is going to be on the south or east or west side,

that's going to be ideal for a plain vertical trellis.

But I'm getting more questions on how to orient

trellises like my A-frame trellis or an arch trellis

where there's actually two different sides.

I have always planted my plants on my a frame trellis where each side of the a frame trellis is facing

one side's facing east and one side's facing west. So that's the way that this has oriented
