The trellis looks fantastic. Personally I prefer the method of forgetting about them down the back of the garden until they're everywhere and causing major headaches. Both are elite techniques.
My easy fix for grapes, blackberries and raspberries. 4 T posts, 2 on each side, 4-5 feet apart. a cattle panel bent to inside each side forms an arbor. Covered with beautiful leaves makes a nice walkway into any space.
Most of the time you can just bury the post in ground and tamp it well. You should always include a back brace of some sort, your wire will eventually cause your posts to tip inwards, even with concrete. You can purchase ground anchors, gripple makes some nice ones that you drive into the ground. Use a turnbuckle when you install so you can get it ultra tight
My dad built one of these (same design) back in 1965, one for our raspberries, one for the olallieberries and one for blackberries, except they were about 2' wider. Worked perfectly for over 25 years and sure kept our arms from too much thorn damage. GREAT design!
You and your team are doing a good job. You're popping out these videos on a very consistent basis. Pop, lock, and drop it in the garden Epic Gardening Team!
We planten ours along the fence in our yard. We used 2 clothes lines to do the same but your spacing is better. I might redo it this winter because this year they are huge! How do you keep birds from eating your fruit?
Nice vid :) worth mentioning is that if you live in a place where the ground freezes, then the depth of your trellis post holes *should* be deeper than where the frost reaches. This will prevent the freezing and thawing of the soil from cropping up the cement (and post imbedded in the cement). This is also true for any kind of DIY building project that entails pouring a foundation :)
Wild timing...I have a big ol patch of wild black raspberry on my property and just yesterday my wife and I were talking about cultivating them somewhat since they are already super productive, so this is great!
The moisture in the ground will solidify the concrete. I build pole buildings, we set 10-20ft 2x6 treated post, steel ones once, but you don’t have to add water either way. The ground will do it for you. Also, use treated wood, if it’s coming in contact with the ground use treated wood. That’s why it’s treated. It’s not going to kill you or soak into your veg and be a problem. It will soak into the soil but it’s in concrete and only a few inches touching dirt. But nice build
A berry trellis is a total game changer. We have ever bearing raspberry plants. The trellis makes them more productive and easier to harvest. Nice looking build!
I need this for sure. The former owner of our house let her raspberry canes grow wild and it's a big mess (and weirdly interplanted with hostas for some reason so I have to dig those out, too).
It could probably be done with only center wires and not needing to put the cross bars. Meanig wires would run post to post with wires spaced every 8 to 12 inches up the post. Train the branches/stems to wrap/rest on the wire.
Love your channel Kevin. Been watching since you were at your old place. Been enjoying your success and progress. Even began gardening myself!(although slugs are a challenge)😊
I was just watching your summer harvest video from a few days ago and saw your strawberry bed. Have you tried any pineberry or pineapple berries? They are super productive and the berries are sweeter than my seascape strawberries. They produce so many berries and runners. I spend more time pruning my pineberries than any other plants.
Great video. Quality has gone through the roof. The cut list and supplies in the description is great plus adding the graphic of the design really elevated the video.
planted raspberries last year thought all three were dead due to dog peeing on them but out of nowhere one came back and is a good strong growing plant, and I'm so excited for it.
Great video, Kevin. You explained things so well throughout the video. Thank you! If you ever need to anchor posts into the ground again and don't want to wait for concrete to dry/set, there is this concrete type expansion foam which sets almost instantly. One version of it is called Expanda-Crete. You also don't need to worry about a water to concrete ratio so much.
Backfill the post hole with tamped stones or gravel. They facilitate drainage. Using concrete can make a water holding collar that promotes decay, plus the concrete costs.
@@funonvancouverisland it does, but I have seen tall posts set with the Expanda-Crete which do not move at all. What I'm trying to say is that the expansion stuff saves time, especially if you have several posts to plant.
This looks great and probably will be the guide I follow for my patch…but I wish you had paused for some closeups; the anchor that you’re using is a mystery to me.
Does having the powerline pole in your yard mean you have to take extra precautions as a homeowner? Does the power company pay you to have that on your property?
Great stuff. Any idea where you can purchase those one way wire chutes? Been to my local hardware store and no joy, they did not even know what they were called Keep up the great work and thanks.
We planted our raspberries along side of our field fencing (wolven wire fencing). It works out well for us. We grow as much fruit and vegetables as we can. This spring we planted 3 Honey Crisp apple trees, 1 Skeena cherry, 2 Rainer cherry, 1 Donut Peach. All our fruit trees are Dwarf (3/4). We’re looking forward for our first harvest.
If you want to use wood posts, this gentleman has a video. He has better toys than most of us but you could do it by hand. If you just use gravel or soil to pack around the post they need to be deep as the wires and canes will want to pull the posts toward the middle. You can also add a guy-wire to each end. Also, if you're in an area that freezes you'll need the post to be below the frost line. ua-cam.com/video/dKtajeefswQ/v-deo.html Here are some videos for using metal T-posts. ua-cam.com/video/DZwjXRFgR5g/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Xsnce7OiPjM/v-deo.html
What is that anchor called ? I’m trying to make one like yours and when I look for anchor nothing looks like what you used. Thank you I liked your trellis so much I’m making one.
Vise anchor or wire anchor or wire vise or wire vise anchor for grape trellis or fence. They have them on a Amazon but I could not find them at local hardware stores. Albeit I live in in Canada and all you can buy at stores here is ice and hockey sticks. 😅
Just an FYI, if you live in an area where the ground freezes, do not set your poles in concrete, it will break or heave sooner rather than later and digging it out to replace it every few years will get old really quick. The poles need to be deeper and set in gravel.
My neighbour has planted raspberries along the fence that separates our properties. My side of the fence has ornamental shrubs and flowers. As much as I enjoy raspberries, I don't want to grow them in my flower beds. I've been pulling shoots for the past two years and, quite frankly am getting tired of digging up my beds. What can I do to keep the raspberry shoots out of my flower bed?
I hit the lottery. Husband found someone getting rid of some metal grid used In a store as a display rack. Now he is more favorable to vines. Going to use a couple for loofa and a couple on the front of the house for bougainvillea that I've wanted to get for pollinators and security for years.
I'm 100% doing this when I have my own place. I got stabbed a lot at my grandfather's berry beds. Only thing I would change on this would be adding some sort of border around the bottom to match the rest of the semi- raised beds I want to make
Planted double golds with blackberries next to each other 8ft apart no problems just watch for cane borer, I just clip of the part of the canes that layed the eggs and throw in a burn pile.
I got a black raspberry and now that it’s growing it’s thorny. Do people only grow thornless berries? I might take the berry out and go back to buy new berry plants
Can someone explain me what is a "growing area or zoning area, not sure..."? I mean i hear Kevin sometimes say, im in San Diego area, 33b or something like that...What does that mean? And if im from Montreal, how would i know in which one im in?!? Thanks guys!
Have you heard of a Mysore Raspberry? I live in a tropical climate and have heard Mysore raspberries are the only ones that will grow here so I just picked some up. Can’t wait for it to fruit 😃
You seem to be a master at making things more complicated than they need to be. You don't need those eyebolts/anchors. Drill a hole through the cross tie, string the fencing wire through it, bring it back around and twist it onto itself.
My grandma’s raspberries spread under ground (I think) like crazy. Where she moves over they don’t pop up but in her vegetable bed about 10 or so feet away the raspberries start popping up. Let us know if this happens to you! Or if you have a game plan already.
They do spread underground-aggressively. I have them everywhere from a few I neglected to move last fall. Great for transplants or sharing, not so much when they invade your raised beds.
We have VERY invasive blackberry plants up in my area (OR/WA border) so I would love to do something like that but not sure what varieties that I can use in raspberry or blackberry that aren't invasive. Nothing like having runners pop up in random areas throughout the landscape... 🤬
The PNW is loaded with native berries, and has a few that are very closely related to the blackberry. Check out Rubus leucodermis (has a bunch of common names like “blackcap raspberry” “black raspberry”). Native throughout Northern California up to Vancouver Canada There are others like Rubus parviflorus, pedatus, and ursinus. All four of those are known to be delicious and will give you a similar berry to the invasive ones. Just want to pick one that fits your needs (able to self pollinate, no thorns, etc). Look for a nursery nearby that specializes in native plants to your area
They are. You can install a vertical barrier but it's a production. It should be at least 12" deep and made of an impermeable material like aluminum flashing. The alternative is put them somewhere you can control the spread by either pulling/digging up the new plants from a mulched path or mowing the ones that come up in a grass border. If your climate is amenable, large containers work but you'll still have to thin them.
Be very careful with the vice hardware. If the wire has any abnormal kinks in it and you pull it into the vice hardware it will get stuck forever, which means you’ll have to cut it out and waste all the wire you pulled through it, and you’ll lose the now jammed vice hardware. I had to buy extra sets of the vice hardware and wire because I didn’t notice a small kink in the wire. Inspect your whole wire before pulling pulling through, and then pull very slowly to make sure you dont make the same expensive mistake.
I feel bad for the AT&T tech that needs to access the communication wires in your backyard. Remember, easement's rights. Since the communication lines are aerial they will need to bring a ladder into your back yard to access their lines. There should be 6 feet of clearance around every pole.

The trellis looks fantastic. Personally I prefer the method of forgetting about them down the back of the garden until they're everywhere and causing major headaches. Both are elite techniques.
🤣🤣🤣
😂 agreed
Hey, that's the method my neighbour followed! Which is how I ended up with a garden full of blackberry plant! :P
This is the way I got tons of raspberries from my neigbour. I love it. Just had to make a barrier beyond which all further growth is terminated.
My father did that and then trimmed them after fruiting with the lawnmower. Only made them more determined and more fruitful!
Your going to want a middle wire. Just redid the spacing on our wires, found we needed one lower, middle and higher😊The raspberries are loving it😊🌸🐝🌻
can you post a picture of your trellis?
My easy fix for grapes, blackberries and raspberries. 4 T posts, 2 on each side, 4-5 feet apart. a cattle panel bent to inside each side forms an arbor. Covered with beautiful leaves makes a nice walkway into any space.

Hey Kevin, what about a video for the end of the season? What to overwinter, options for the bed, how to prepare things for a good start, etc...
For sure! Closer to the end tho :)
We planten ours along the fence in our yard. We used 2 clothes lines to do the same but your spacing is better. I might redo it this winter because this year they are huge!

Great to note! As a native Californian (and never lived in our state’s snowy cold areas) I never think much about things like that.
Wild timing...I have a big ol patch of wild black raspberry on my property and just yesterday my wife and I were talking about cultivating them somewhat since they are already super productive, so this is great!
Love this video! Looking forward to building my trellises this weekend!
Wow I’ve never had a 26s fresh video before. I think I’m obligated to watch this immediately.

D- D-Did you say Berries?? *"Berries and Cream, Berries and cream, I'm a little lad who loves Berries and Cream!"*
lol
Now we need a video on how to manage the berries as they grow and when they need to be pruned. I agree about the third wire in the middle.
Question: I just planted grapes this year; will this design work for them as well? Thanks for the clear step by step video!
It should. I would just add a few more wires in the middle.
It could probably be done with only center wires and not needing to put the cross bars. Meanig wires would run post to post with wires spaced every 8 to 12 inches up the post. Train the branches/stems to wrap/rest on the wire.
@@pakbowl420 excellent - thank you for these tips! I am working out the plans now…
Love your channel Kevin. Been watching since you were at your old place. Been enjoying your success and progress. Even began gardening myself!(although slugs are a challenge)😊
Glad to hear this Jewel!
Try putting small dishes of any beer around the garden for slugs! They love it and you can pick them out easily 💗
Can you get ducks? They love slugs.
@@backyardrebel2149 AND ducks are less destructive in a garden then chickens !
that mural! wow!
Agreed...it looks great in that space!
Suggestion: use needle nose pliers to create small loop on each of the 4 exiting wires to minimize poking or scratching risk to gardeners.

I love the block wall mural!
The mural is lovely
As a visual person, a close up of the fixings in the cross beams would be very appreciated. 🙏🥺
I love how Jacques used his hat to protect his eyes when Kevin sawed the wood 🤣
Great video. Quality has gone through the roof. The cut list and supplies in the description is great plus adding the graphic of the design really elevated the video.
I have been waiting for this one. You did not disappoint. Now I got to get my raspberries in line.
Nice Trellis! i've got a bunch of raspberries that are about 3 or 4' long now. i think i need to do something like this with them.
planted raspberries last year thought all three were dead due to dog peeing on them but out of nowhere one came back and is a good strong growing plant, and I'm so excited for it.
Really nice. I think I would have used a turnbuckle eye/hook. The posts are sturdy enough to handle it and the wires would be straight and taut.
and what do you attach it to?
Tractor Supply sells a tool to help make your wire wrap look good and it only costs a few dollars. IMO it is well worth it.
Ever thought of tightening the wires? Or is it already taut?
Great graphics/drawing in this video!

Thanks, this is what I’m going to do. Blackberries, blueberries 🫐 & raspberries.
OMG..... My Monday is too sick for some of the stuff ya'll do.
Nice job. I didn't get that part at the end, what did u mean by letting them lay down to get more fruit???
thumbs up for that summoning!!
Hi Epic Gardening! Do you guys have a video on making compost tea?
Does having the powerline pole in your yard mean you have to take extra precautions as a homeowner? Does the power company pay you to have that on your property?
Genius!
Damn, Kevin. You actually do a good job. I didn’t even know you had a saw let alone all this skill 🔥
just harvested some wild black raspberries in zone 5! I wish these trellises were there for easy harvests ;)
Love your content, thanks for making it!
I have sandy soil so I may have to tamp some gravel in there too so it doesn't sink
Great stuff.
Any idea where you can purchase those one way wire chutes?
Been to my local hardware store and no joy, they did not even know what they were called
Keep up the great work and thanks.
I noticed it in the background of your last video and was wondering what it was!
I've seen these around the neighborhood, but then Kevin is a local boy. :) Also something similar for grapes.
Do clumping varieties spread as badly as coming varieties?
We planted our raspberries along side of our field fencing (wolven wire fencing). It works out well for us.
We grow as much fruit and vegetables as we can.

Did The Hermit REALLY use his straw hat as eye pro? XD Ya'll are adorable that is something I would 100% do. Saftey Squint Gang!
I'm jealous...one day I will also plant berries. All I have is a mulberry.
Very smart planting 5-6’ tall & bushy plants right in front of that beautiful and expensive mural!
Are these thornless varieties?
Kevin...how long is your raspberry bed?
How many raspberry plants will a trellis support?
Just an FYI, if you live in an area where the ground freezes, do not set your poles in concrete, it will break or heave sooner rather than later and digging it out to replace it every few years will get old really quick. The poles need to be deeper and set in gravel.
can the epic chickens eat some of the berries? because just in case if the plant makes too much produce 🐥

You could add a retainer wall 12" to 18" deep total 2 foot tall having a foot exposed using 2x12 or stone. That should block roots from coming thru.
Umm... Isn't the 'power planter" an auger?
Why would you cut post shorter? I suppose I just used t-posts because they're fast to install and don't cost that much.
Didn't want to block the mural!

Some of the varieties with thorns produce some of the best tasting berries.

T 30 GRK or other screws are designed to be self drilling.
Tell me you're rolling in some dough without saying so. "This 4x4 is made of redwood"
Would you please post an update? I'd love to see how this trellis is working and how the berries are doing.
I thought i heard Eric removed the whole plants & trellis system guessing they didn't do good. maybe he will do a follow up.
Cool! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Maybe add blackberry into the title, too? Or generalize with brambles? Although bramble isn't very commonly used.
Had to keep it shorter :)

They are. You can install a vertical barrier but it's a production. It should be at least 12" deep and made of an impermeable material like aluminum flashing.
