FLORIDA WEAVE for my tomato and cucumbers!
With the new TRELLIS Arch, I needed a strong, flexible way to trellis my Tomato and Cucumber vines, to increase airflow and grow more fruit in less space. Some people use stakes, some, tie to top. For me, I create a weave out of twine, called the Florida Weave, that is strong and flexible enough to let the plants grow, while supporting the weight of fruits, too.
I've been training my cucumbers up, and on one side, creating a jute twine Florida weave (for my cherry tomato) On the other side, I attached some chicken wire for running up my bigger beefier tomato:
Giant Crimson, Mushroom Basket, Beefsteaks, and Brandywines.
How are you supporting your tomato? your cucumber?
It really helps me out if you subscribe to my YouTube Channel...
...and of course, if you SHARE the Video, too!
MANY Thanks!
Check out this video and take a look at HOW I Use the twine and create a FLORIDA WEAVE to help my fruits and veggies grow better! #GrowBabyGrow #GroVid24

Most of you know, I prefer to grow my own food, locally. It's healthier for my family, and for the planet. I know what goes into my foods, and what chemicals are NOT in my food. Also, It cuts down on carbon emissions, less trucking, planes, trains, and boats, to get fresh foods to my table.
And that makes me smile... better for the planet, better for my own family.

Farming is very fun if that is our passion!
Looks like you nurtured well your plants. Making a good quality of trellis helps the plants grow well and sturdy. Good job.
thank you!
We can all use a little support... even our green growing friends! LOL!
Definitely, here in the community you learn about everything. My sister grows tomatoes in her garden. I will pass on your video to her, it might be useful. I wish you the best of success.
it really helps tomato to grow taller and more fruit in less square footage. Gives plenty of helpful airflow, preventing many blight diseases that harm tomato.
Haha ya that's the way you do it!
I have been watching so many videos on how to grow and prune and tend to veggies in the garden this year. We grow 10-foot ornamental grass that turns out to look like skinny bamboo and I use those for my trellises. This year, I poked them into the ground around the cucumbers, squash and tomatoes and then tied them together at the top with twine. Working well so far and I might just be inspired to bust out a garden update tonight now!
Good growing old friend.
I have a friend who has something similar growing, and I sued to cut the grass shoots for making tripods for my cukes to grow. I still use them for some of my peas growing!
Wild pen caps 😂 you commented on running out of stakes... you can never have enough stakes 🤦 You mentioned the Florida weave last year. I had some corn that fell over in the floods last year. I put the FLA weave to work and it held them up enough to finish out the ears of corn 👍
glad that worked out!
I read that corn sends it roots down only a few inches so strong winds can really knock it down.

Hiya, @isnochys ,
Thank you!
i always believe it's important we all share and grow together.
Great video showing your technique! Can pieces of used twine be composted at the end of the season?
I always look for natural jute, or natural fibers. NEVER "poly" anything, lol.
Actually, at the end of season two! I can most times, get a second season out of twine.
You must be killin' it out here!
@thekittygirl just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @bluefinstudios.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
