Growing Vining Plants on a Trellis saves space
Here’s the photo I promised showing how I’m growing melons on a trellis. I have two trellis’ on this raised bed and I’m growing four varieties of melons, five varieties of peppers, chard, strawberries and green beans in a space of 4′ X 24′
The bed is 24″ high with side-walls made of poured steel reinforced concrete. I built two beds like this and like them so well that I’m going to build more. I hope to have that done in time to have a larger fall garden. The pictures on the right show some of the building process along with my “Country Home”.

This is so very cool!! But do the melons want to fall to the ground when they get full grown because of their weight?? Just curious?!
Hey Scarlet!
Thanks for the question! I put bird netting over the cattle panels to keep the melons from falling through.

That’s a very awesome idea! Looks like a melon-made greenhouse.
