What's up everyone? Welcome back to the epic gardening podcast. This is the most

info-packed gardening podcast on the internet or at least I try to make it so.

Today we're talking about tomato trellis designs and while there are far too many to go into in detail what I'm going to do is talk about

the four or five-ish different categories of tomato trellises that you can use.

And so the first type is going to be a string-based support.

So these are really good for

training tomatoes up.

So an indeterminate tomato variety

can just be trained directly up a string trellis

and then maybe even back down if it's a very long vining tomato variety.

So there's a lot of different ways you can do this.

Most of them involve building some sort of support structure and then having a string

rain down from above it and you can train the tomatoes to grow up it.

Now, the second type that you can do is a wire-based support and this basically combines the

support structure and the string into one more sturdy overall structure.

So a lot of people will do something like a trellis arch where they're growing two sets of

tomatoes or two rows of tomatoes and they train both of them up the same trellis that's formed in a U-shaped arch.

And so the tomatoes from one side will eventually meet the tomatoes from the other

side at the top of the arch.

And so it's kind of a interesting design in that it makes use of two different beds, but also

can create a very cool green archway of productive fruit producing plants like tomatoes.

So that's a very interesting technique
