Many gardeners do not even think about how profitable the tall varieties of tomatoes are because they do not want to mess around with the arrangement of special garter structures - tapestries. In fact, to make trellises for tomatoes with their own hands will not be difficult even for a person with minimal skills. And the pros from this venture will be a lot - and the minimum involved area of the suburban area, and sufficiently high yields and less labor to care for the beds. Our article will tell how to make trellises for tomatoes with our own hands.
Types of trellis for tomatoes in open ground
Thinking out what to build trellises for tomatoes, and even growing in the open ground, you should consider the following points:
- The design should be sufficiently stable to withstand the various vagaries of nature - rain and wind.
- The design must have a sufficient margin of strength to withstand the load in the form of heavy tomatoes themselves and the crop ripening on them.
- If the suburban area is not protected or permanently left unattended, the design should not cause interest to the amateurs to profit from scrap metal.
The most suitable for this description is the A-shaped support made of a wooden beam with a cross section of at least 40x40 mm. Its height should be at least 2 meters.
It will also be convenient to construct a structure made of the same wooden beams, packed with racks at different heights, hammered at least 1 meter apart from each other.
Those who are accustomed to using the resources with the maximum benefit, we advise to build a trellis-greenhouse. It will need two pieces of metal pipe about 2-2.5 meters high each. On each of them, it is necessary to attach three transversal strips at equal intervals, on which the wire will then be pulled. Pipes must be concreted at a distance of 2 to 5 meters from each other. Thanks to its convenient design, this trellis can be covered at any time with a film, turning it into a greenhouse or a greenhouse.
