Growing with Trellis Netting

People around the world use trellis netting to maximize space and potential yield in their gardens. It’s very inexpensive and easy to use, especially considering all the benefits that come with trellis gardening.

What Is Trellis Netting?

Trellis netting is known by several names. Vegetable trellis, pea netting, and bean netting are just a few. It’s a widely extruded net made of polypropylene with UV stabilizers added, and used to provide support to trailing varieties of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. It is most commonly sold in 6.5ft wide sections of various lengths. The trellis netting available today is strong and durable, and can withstand several seasons of use.

Trellis Netting for Support

The primary use of trellis netting is for supporting the weight of vine-borne fruits and veggies. Most trellis netting can hold up to 60 pounds, so even those hefty melons and squash will be gently cradled as they await harvest. This will result in more perfectly shaped fruits and vegetables since they won’t have a flat spot from lying on the ground. You’ll also find that harvesting is a much easier chore with trellis netting since the plant will be accessible from all angles.

Using Trellis Netting to Save Space

Trellis netting enables also you to create more square footage in your garden. By allowing vines to grow vertically, areas that would normally be much too small can make a perfect home for even the most prolific trailing varieties of garden fare. Trellis netting is great if you have limited space available for cultivation, as is usually the case for those with limited space or if your looking to optimize the area you have. Trellis netting can be used on balconies, rooftops, and plenty of other unlikely garden spots so that even the most property-deprived gardener can enjoy growing and harvesting a number of crops.

Other Benefits of Using Trellis Netting

Trellis netting serves additional purposes, too. Since fruits and foliage are lifted above the ground, they are far less likely to suffer from mold or fungus from contact with damp soil. Plants held aloft by trellis netting are also much less accessible to garden pests like slugs and rodents. Additionally, trellis netting helps keep vine-dwelling plants from taking over neighboring spaces and choking out other garden inhabitants. Many gardeners choose to use trellis netting simply for aesthetic reasons; trellis netting not only keeps a growing space more tidy and organized, it can add height and drama to your landscape display.

What to Plant with Trellis Netting

Trellis Netting can be used for any kind of creeping or trailing plants such as cucumbers, zucchini, gourds, pumpkins, and other squash vines. Trellis netting can also be used to grow all kinds of melons – even full-sized watermelons. trellis netting is also commonly used to contain and display the delicate blossoms of sweet pea vines and similar flowering trailers. Trellis netting can also be used to replace older style garden structures like tomato cages, which are generally unattractive and can actually burn or cut plants.

Setting Up Trellis Netting Structures

For the simplest setup, attach one end of the netting sheet to a wall or fence around six or seven feet up. Leave a gap between the bottom of the trellis netting and the ground – most gardeners recommend around a foot or so. This can be left to hang flush with the support structure or angled outward and secured at the bottom with small stakes. You can also create a freestanding structure anywhere by making a framework from wood, or any kind of pipe or tubing. Just make sure to use strong wire or twine to reinforce the top of the netting to prevent sagging once your plants get heavier.

More Trellis Netting Gardening Ideas

Trellis netting is highly adaptable and there are so many ways that you can use it to fit your particular need. Gardeners continue to come up with ever more creative ways to incorporate trellis netting into their landscape. A simple framework consisting of a few wooden poles can become a green-walled tent or teepee. Another way to add drama and save space in your landscape is to pair climbing flowers with your vegetable vines on the same trellis. Flowering vines like clematis and trumpet vines are surprising and beautiful grown in conjunction with pumpkins or squash.

Other Kinds of Garden Trellis Netting

Besides trellis netting, you’ll find that there are several landscape and garden netting products for as many different purposes. Protective netting is extruded or knitted much more tightly than trellis netting and is draped over plants to keep out pests, birds, deer, and other garden invaders. Some types of mesh netting are used directly on top of the soil to act as a barrier against weed invasion. Fruit growers also use particular kinds of nets over their trees to keep birds and squirrels out.

Working with trellis netting is easy and opens up a host of new possibilities for any garden space. It’s a small investment that will continue to pay off, season after season.
