For 3 years I've been saving 2 grids that were part of a metal bedframe as "one day I'll use them in the garden"... just realised they will be perfect hanging from the polly tunnel roof!

Sliding the transplants from the gutter into the beds is fantastic!

Huw, I believe your climbing roses would benefit from being woven horizontally across the space you've given them. They tend to bloom at the upper end of the stem. If you weave them horizontally, offshoots will grow up, providing you with more blooms. Love your channel!

Fantastic ideas that I will be incorporating. I love the fact that a lot of them are temporary and utilising the things we often already have. Thanks 🎉

I like the way you dry your groves… jazz hands 🤗. Seriously though, love the maximising space inside the poly tunnel.

I found this super useful. Great timing and reminder about how structures cast shade 😊👍

I see you have a raised bed in between fruit trees. Love the idea.

Thank you, this is super helpful! 💚🌱I am growing much more crops vertically this year and the thing that I’m the most excited about is training courgettes up their poles and underplanting them with lots of other vegetables and flowers 🤪

I just started making my trellis and it's looking good and strong. ❤❤❤ so happy you suggested this. Thank you.

Brilliant. We'll be repurposing an old crib for vertical trellis growing this year. Ingenuity goes a long way gardening.

The tree guard woven through bamboo- I have so much tree guard, and was never able to visualize using it vertically. I’m on an extreme budget this year and this is a game changer for me

[doubledee]

Very helpful upload, will probably use a few of your ideas especially liked the strawberries in the guttering, brilliant 👍

HI Huw, really enjoying the channel. Especially as your tips will be relevant to my Welsh Garden.

[MyFantasyHomestead]

Great ideas! I am using quite a few of these type of trellises in my small garden, but the gutters are an amazing idea! I am stealing that one 😂

[jabbathehut]

Love this. I have got so many ideas from it. Off to find things to make vertical frames. Thank you Huw. 😊

[NewHopeMonroe]

We are near Seattle and have similar junky weather as you. I've been watching for a couple years and went all in on vertical this year too. Wild how gardening ideas converge halfway across the planet.

Always something new to learn from you. Thanks Huw! ❤
