Build a Garden Trellis for Under $10
by
Mary Hall
The thornless blackberry and climbing roses needed a trellis, as they were taking over a corner of the yard.
I could have gone out and bought something (not in the budget), or purchased the wood to build something (also not in the budget and perhaps out of my range of skills), but instead I wanted something using materials I already had, or that were very inexpensive.
I had some leftover 10 foot PVC pipe and 12 inch rebar from another project, and these (along with some zip ties) were just what I needed to build a tee-pee type garden trellis. If you buy the materials, it would cost under $10!

I'll try this... but use it to cover my new fruit trees with netting

Have a question about this project?
How does one even start to tear out the upper kitchen cabinets? SCARED to try in fear of not being able to do so
