Nungali Posted April 16, 2017 Battling tree root invasion, I dug a deep trench on one 1/2 side, lined it with corflute and backfilled. The mixed in 1/2 bag of goodies. Then I suspended some plastic square trellis and going to plant purple king beans there next new moon. 2 days ago I planted broccilini seedlings. The broadbeans cant seem to make up their mind wether they are a dwarf varity or not , first flower came out this afternoon. And some corriander has started to sprout. Gotta think what else I can put in for autumn in the sub-tropics. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelerner Posted April 16, 2017 Every year I tell myself, I will build/buy a trellis system for my plants to hang on, and every year I wait, either forgetting to or putting it off so long I rip off productive branches trying to my plants into hoops. This year I say again- I will have a good trellis system. That's what separates the greens from the fiends. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nungali Posted April 16, 2017 I use a square plastic mesh, the spaces are small enough to not allow bower birds in (plant munchers) but let smaller insect and grub eaters in. For beans I just hang them from a bamboo culm hanging across the top of the bird net bamboo framing. very simple system (if you have a caged garden ) . I found some more old thick timber planks under the shed, so another new bed being made today ...... sun is up and shining on the patch , its cool and crisp .... I am out there and into it ! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
