Sometimes I get very frustrated with gardening and homemaking media. It is all about photography and advertising One of the articles in a recent issue of THIS OLD HOUSE, (which I do love by the way--because I do like photography) features Twiggy or brushy trellising. A wonderful woven twig trellis is pictured with instructions. I have the twigs, and I need a trellis--but it would probably take me most of the day just to cut the twigs. Even if I had the twigs cut, I really would have had to figure it out on my own, because the instructions were a bit lacking. Me--doing that, I would have ended up with an ugly mess I think.
We made a trellis with crepe myrtle cuttings last year. It was a massive pain!!! But, it held up well and did its job, and I was pleased it was free!
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm still thinking about trying one. I tried to make a garden sculpture out of willow wands a few years ago. That turned out pretty well.
ReplyDeleteAs you say, a twig trellis--is free, does work, and is recyclable. That's a lot going for it.
