  1. I have a old 2 person swing that I am going to tie twine too and grow that way. The swing has been removed and now is just the wooden frame standing. Its a 2ft x 6ft area growing tomatoes, squash, cucumbers and pole beans. I will be vertically trellis growing everything.

  2. the pvc will start to degrade under the sun light and it becomes brittle pretty fast, i think he wants something that lasts more than one season

  13. pretty clever for a homo.

  14. so is ur mother

  15. that’s rigid conduit not emt. big waste of money.

  16. The other thing … why did you take the time and energy to drill holes in your cross members ? A hole is great protection against a force that goes axially along the pipe … but since there are no such forces on your plants, or very minimal you are find just tying the wire around and dropping it down I think.

    I think you find it you look at most plants that grow up wires that they do not so much pull the wire downward as use it to pull themselves up “around”.

  17. well, i’d have to say that the collapse of the price of the tomato clips is due to their being a not very good product which people are choosing choose not to buy – for a reason.

  18. 100 for 8.95 at Johnny Seeds. or 500 Grandpa Jacks Trellis Tomato Clips! 500 for $18.00 on ebay. If you have a small flat screwdriver and you can work it into the zip tie, lots of times you can release it to be used over again.

  19. Also, certain types of clip do not work very well or break very easily, so you think you are saving when you are really getting ripped off. Better for me to stick to what I know and trust. I bought some green clips that looks like little leaves, and they kept popping apart – I’m sure glad I did not buy 500 of them.

  20. Well, I have not seen clips in my area for $0.05 or even near that …. most are at least $0.20 – $0.25 a piece. I do not want to have to shell out almost $30.00 for a lifetime supply of clips that I may never use.

    Also, zip-ties are useful for other things, I do not have to buy $30.00 at a time, and they are much less expensive. I wish they were more re-usable, but if you are careful to not pull them too tight you can cut them and reuse them several times.

  21. That’s not conduit! since electrical conduit isn’t threaded. You basically bought Galvanized Pipe (good for water too) 3/4″ x 5′ EMT Conduit is about $3.00 at Lowes. I think he meant to say galvanized pipe.

  22. clips are like 5 cents each. 500 for 24.95 at Johnny Seeds. you can reuse these but most zip ties are not reusable, there are some that will release. I’d rather use the clips for a few years the keep putting ties on.

  23. LOL…what you won’t dig them up and bring them inside until the storm passed? LOL

  24. nice planting :)

  25. If we’re talking about hurricanes, I wouldn’t worry about tomato plants.
