Thus, growing on tapestries gives greater efficiency!

The simplest support (trailer) for climbing plants with their own hands can be made with the help of twine or a thin rope, both natural and plastic. This support is usually located against the wall of the house, arbor or barn. And you can make a support with wooden sticks.

For tapestry cultivation, constructions of durable twines stretched in 2-3 rows or placed in the form of a hut are used. Very popular plastic tapestry mesh to support plants with cells 15x17 cm, length from 5 to 10 m and a width of 2 m. The net is pulled on the arcs or attached to the wall of the greenhouse.

For arrangement, the tapestries are installed at a distance of 1.5-2 m from each other and stretch between them 2 or 3 rows of wire: the first row of 10-15 cm on the ground surface. The second row is 1-1.3 m, and the third row is 2.2 m.

The support consists of reinforced metal pipes or corner and intermediate wooden columns 30 cm in diameter.
