How to Build a Squash Trellis

With Summer arriving it's the perfect time to get our garden all setup so that the plants will thrive all season long. One of the best structures you can build is a trellis for your squash. It will not only allow them to grow most effectively, but also allow you to maximize your garden space and squash yield. After many years of experimenting with different options, in today's video I share with you my FAVORITE squash trellis - you'll be shocked by how simple it is!

As a crocheter I have a TONA OF YARN! I’m so glad I watched this

Just discovered your videos...
Love your mission regarding gardening and mental health!!

I have been gardening for 70 years. My garden is where all my stresses fall away, as my attention is on the plants, their sprouting, growing, flowering, fruiting -- and the bees, butterflies, hummingbird moths, etc., which enjoy it as much as I do.
When I step out my door into the garden, I am in a healthier, and mentally healthier, place!

Very helpful video on the squash trellis construction!
Best wishes to you!

Using trellises for squash is SUCH a better way to grow them! I got cattle panels to create arches between my raised beds (which were cheaper for me than building a wood structure) when I first built them. I have grown spaghetti squash, pie pumpkins, birdhouse gourds, luffa and melons on these with amazing results! :D Whatever kind of structure you decide to use, I HIGHLY recommend using a trellis as often as possible! :) Great build video.

This is awesome and perfectly timed! Bought a butternut squash from our farmers market. All of its seeds were growing inside. Naturally I had to plant them. Now it’s time to separate them. Going to find homes for a lot of them, I hope. But I didn’t want the plants spreading out in the yard. Weeds, rot, bugs I don’t need. Great info here. Thank you. I like listening to you talk. Nice voice, excellent cadence and sweet humor to boot. New subbie here.

Thank you! I'm going to try this. On a much smaller scale, though. (Am a widowed Grandmother-so will do what I can by myself). I appreciate you making & sharing this video.

I have a small patch of dirt where i planted about 6 spaghetti squash seeds, and they all started to grow LOL. The leaves are so big and I was starting to worry about not having enough space for the squash. Your video is very helpful and looks doable. I plan to install trellises right away. Thanks for this!

[dwwcoder]
