BUILD A BAMBOO TRIPOD
This inexpensive Bamboo Tripod will offer tall vined vegetables great support.
Snap pea and snow pea varieties can easily grow to reach over 1.8m tall so building a structure to support your pea vines is crucial. This tall semi-permanent trellising structure can be used time and time again.
Place bamboo poles in a triangular shape in your garden bed. Space poles about 2 feet apart and sink poles firmly in the ground. Gather the poles together about 1 foot from the top. Cut a 12 foot piece of twine. Tie one end of the twine around one pole.
Wrap the twine around all three poles 8 times, pulling the twine tight with each lap of the poles.
Tie the end of your ball of twine to one pole.
Wrap the twine around each pole until you make it back to the first knot.
Continue steps 5 and 6 every 10 inches until you reach the top.
Once all the horizontal twine rungs have been tied, fertilize around the base of the tri-pod.
