Today Me and my girlfriend made a bean trellis for our pole bean variety called Blauhilde.

One of the bamboo sticks snapped, so unfortunately I will have to get a couple more.
The neighbor in my community garden found a mole cricket. It is quite an invasive species here in the Netherlands, and not loved for the fact that it eats young seedling roots.

Nice trellis.

I would add some diagonal bracing though. As it is I think the whole frame could potentially tip along it’s length.

It's little consolation once they've damaged the garden, but at least the mole crickets are a tasty treat.

Hi Michael, I was out of bamboo sticks when I put this down yesterday, but today I have bought some more and braced the structure.

You would be much easier to understand if you took that bucket off of your head. And that goes for the tiny ad too!
