How to choose the right type of tire for your dragon fruit trellis top support
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- I have read that dragon fruit plants can live long (30 to 40 years) so choose materials for your trellis system that will last long as well. Hopefully this video will help you in choosing the best type of tire. Heavier tires (cruiser bike) will probably last longer than lighter tires (sport bike). Newer tires will probably last longer than older/used tires. You can get these tires from tire recyclers for about $3 each. You can probably get the tires cheaper or even free if you find a smaller bike tire shop. They pay tire recyclers to disposed of the used tires for them. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
Great video. Thanks
Hello. Thank you for your comment and thank you again for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
what are your thoughts about water stagnating in the tire and growing mosquitoes? do you drill drain holes in the sidewall?
E C that's a good idea drilling holes on the bottom portion of the tire for drainage to prevent mosquitoes from breeding. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. Cheers.
Good point
Hello. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. Cheers. 👍😊👍
Have you had any problems with rats living in the tire void? Any thoughts about a material to fill it with? Thanks! Scott
Hello. Currently I do not. I have enough cats from my neighbors hanging out in my backyard. I've had a bird nested in one of the posts though. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. Cheers.
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I've just started with dragon fruits. I built my first trellis but it was out of wood. This is a nice idea but I'm not physically able to work with heavy materials. I'd love to find something durable but light for my plants.
Thagirion9 I think wood is fine more so if the wood is of the hardwood type. One of the viewers successfully used treated wood which would definitely last longer although I personally would not use because of the chemicals in them. I've seen posts made of PVC piping wrapped in burlap too. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
@@sackboymahalo I am using a long star picket with a 90mm stormwater pipe put over the top of it. The starpicket is sunk well down into the ground. I then have the rebar cross-wise through the stormwater pipe and then the tyre on that. I have a cap over the end of the stormwater pipe. You could put rope or burlap over the pvc pipe, I hadn't thought of that. Is the burlap able to stand up to the constant sun exposure.
@@leoneloechner259 that's a great idea using a star picket with a pvc pipe over it 😀👍. I've seen people use burlap over the pvc pipe though I do not know how long they last. Thank you for sharing your ideas and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
For pillar post what mixing grade should be use
M15
M10
or lesser than these
Hello. I used M25 for the concrete mix 4,000 psi (27 Mpa) at 28 days of curing because that is what is available in my area. I will suggest to use M15. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
@@sackboymahalo
Thank.u very much
@@lrshylo81 you are welcome. Thank you as well. 👍😊👍 Cheers
How do you attach the tire to the center post?
Cathie Galbraith I have 3 rebars that are originating from the center post that I hang the tires to. I have a video titled "How to attach the tire on the 3 rebars as top support for dragon fruit tellis/post (viewer request)". I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
I want to make a trellis out of bamboo... Any advise?
Hello. I do not know how long the bamboo will last but maybe choose the bamboo that is matured. I know bamboo is structurally sound because I've seen it used as scaffolding in building construction. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. Cheers.
@@sackboymahalo Yes, I know it is very strong, but I think it would only last a few years. I'm going to try this method. ua-cam.com/video/zfM2D5r3H40/v-deo.html
I should watch this video first before I asked you a question on the other video
sar oum thank you for watching. Cheers.
Where do you get your tires from? What's the price on a used tire?
Hello. You might get it free if you go to a small shop that changes motorcycle tires because they pay tire recyclers to dispose it for them. Or you can go to a tire recycler and pay $3 to $5 each. I hope this answers your question. Thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
@@sackboymahalo thank you for the help
@@OfficialNewAndImproved305 you are welcome. Thank you as well. 👍😊👍 Cheers
What wil b expected life for these tyres??
Hello. Great question. From what I have read they will last probably 50 to 80 years. This article is where I got the information: www.autoblog.com/2009/04/17/sobering-statistics-how-long-will-it-take-for-your-car-to-decom/
I'm sure they will last at least 15 years since they are motorbike tires.
I hope this helps. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
@@sackboymahalo thanks for reply.ur videos r really informative.i had planted 7 months ago about 1400 vietnam white.have very less water available.still they r surviving.baought 470 concrete posts, much money invested.so i m trying economic cost reduction by using motorbike tyres.india.google map check 413534 pin code.its drought prone area.
@@thelifeanddimension wow that's a lot of posts and plants.😃👍 Best wishes on your farm. Greetings from San Diego. Thank you again. 👍😊👍 Cheers
What size are the tires ?
Do u sell df cuttings internationally sir?
No sorry I don't. Thank you for watching. Cheers.
hey, what is the dimension of your trellis?
Hello. The trellis measures 6 ft X 6 inches X 6 inches. Here is a link to the video regarding the trellis/post. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching. 👍😊👍 Cheers
Cool. Thanks. Based on your df wonderfull expertise. once the DF crawl downward after the tire, thats the start it will produce fruits. Is that correct?
@@primelricafrente sometimes that is the case and sometimes depending on the maturity of your planting material the plant will start growing new branches after bending down. Once those new branches bend down themselves then it will start producing flowers which if pollinated will develop into fruits. So basically it is dependent on how mature the plant is upon initial planting. And for a plant to be able to support full fruit development, from what I have read, it needs about 10 pounds of weight ( plant mass). I hope this helps. Thank you again. 👍😊👍 Cheers
Cool. It must atleast 5kg from the cutting. So if it 4 cuttings atleast 20kg in total. Is that correct? Because im planning to create my own trellis it either altleast 4.5ft or 5ft. So that it can go down asap
@@primelricafrente usually a plant must have at least 4.6 kilograms of weight to be able to support a fruit to full maturity. A matured cutting with less weight of 4.6 kg will sometimes produce a flower and eventually abort the flower because it doesn't have enough energy to support fruit development. I hope it helps. Thank you again. 👍😊👍 Cheers
you need stop posting video of your dragon fruit im getting jealous 🤔🤔🤔
