Building a strawberry trellis is a fantastic way to maximize your garden space and promote healthy fruit production. A trellis supports the plants, keeping them off the ground and reducing the risk of rot and pests.
Materials Needed
- Wooden posts or stakes
- Wire or twine
- Drill with drill bits
- Measuring tape
- Garden staples or hooks
Steps to Build Your Trellis
- Choose a Location: Select a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil.
- Install the Posts: Drive two vertical posts into the ground, spaced about 4-6 feet apart.
- Add the Wire: Attach horizontal wires or twines across the posts, spaced about 12-18 inches apart.
- Secure the Plants: As your strawberry plants grow, gently tie them to the trellis for support.
With this simple structure, you’ll enjoy delicious, ripe strawberries while keeping your garden tidy and manageable.
