My Favourite Growing Frame

Indeterminate tomatoes and climbing beans need tall support - 1.8m is ideal to get the full potential out of the crop, and it needs to be robust enough to hold crops steady under the weight of a crop and the wind as well.

Steel reinforcing mesh is the bees knees. Easy to store, easy to erect and take down (minimal twine required), and best of all is robust as. You can, of course, use any other sturdy mesh - a wire bed base, deer fencing, or whatever you find at the recyclers.

Set it up

Choose 2 robust stakes, bang them in well and tie the mesh to them. And it's just as easy in reverse - how delightful!

Let this definition guide you in your creations: Support, noun, a thing that bears the weight of something or keeps it upright. And word to the wise, where there is tying up there is, at some point, untying. As far as tie is concerned - less is definitely more come Autumn.
