Clear as mud ?????? ahaha .... I'm doing/learning this as I go.









The commercial growers use 3 inch post and zig-zag lines horizontally between the plants. .... For me this is easier and I don't have to do all the plants at the same time; just when needed.
That's great, and it does look easy. I am definitely going to do that with my indeterminates. Thanks for sharing!!
