My kid took a handful of my mixed dried beans last year. She got nervous with the reports of shortages in the store.. Maybe 1/8 of a cup. She worked her ass off. Sprouted them, weeded it watered it. Her yield was 2 cups of mostly red and black beans. Fortunately she thought that was tons. This year we helped her pick out good seeds she can have fun with like a popcorn variety, 3 color mixed green beans and colorful bell peppers. Im so excited for her, its going to work out so much better
i know you weren’t the first person to do this but you are a BIG reason why growing on cattle panels is so popular. as always thank you for sharing your journey💜
"It doesn't amount to a hill of beans"🤣🤣
LOL!!
I just watched your infinitely more devotional video. I nearly brought me to tears, God has used this garden, this hope, this vision to enrich your faith. And the amazing thing, is that heaven is infinitely more than we will ever have on earth!
They're a 4 gauge wire if anyone was wondering.. pretty tough.
get the damaged cattle panels from tractor supply. they sell them half price.
🤩 best tip ever!!
Awesome tip! My store is out of them with COVID-19, so we have to order. Maybe next time!
I've done it! They have me $10 off
Brilliant!!! I didn't see any. But, I used that tactic to get enough landscaping timbers at about a buck each to make a doghouse. I cut out notches like lincoln logs and deck screwed them together. Didn't even lose a shingle in Hurrican Ike!
@@mattpeacock5208 Hi
So I was watching this video and saw your irrigation pipe/tape and realized "ON NO! I LEFT THE WATER ON AT MY PARENTS GARDEN ... *FOUR HOURS AGO*!!! I flew out of my chair and drove like a mad man the five miles to the ranch HQ and ... mom had alredy turned it off. Whew! Good 'ol mom.
1:56 The BEST side to plant on your trellis depends on what direction your trellis faces in relation to the path of the sun where you are. Remember that your plants will reach towards the sun! For those in the northern hemisphere you will want to plant on the north side of the trellis so that the plants grow TOWARDS the sun and INTO the trellis instead of initially growing away from the trellis. The opposite goes for those in the southern hemisphere,, you will want to plant on the southern side of the trellis.
** If you are trying to grow plants on a slanted trellis, and this might seem counterintuitive, but you will want your trellis slanted TOWARDS the sun so that your plants can "climb" the trellis while reaching towards the sun instead of you having to spend time to "train" them against they way they want to naturally grow. It really really really helps to support the stalks!!
I’ve been trying to puzzle this out myself, and your comment finally made it click for me! HUGE thank you!
@@Aaakeith You are very welcome! Happy gardening!
Jess you have the best hair.
In Canada, our "cattle pannels" are called 9 gauge wire mesh. They are 7 ft long and 3.5 ft wide. Zip tie 2 end to end (over lap a little) to get the long version. They are $16.84 at Home Depot. Model number 438743.
In Alberta, at UFA & Peavey Mart they are called "cattle panels", "hog panels", "horse panels", "galvanized fence panels" in sizes of 34 inches wide up to 60 inches wide and 16 feet wide with prices starting at $50. There was also one 34 inches x 8 feet for $37.
Jess, just to let you know, yesterday I bungied down cattle panels to my Prius.
I’m so glad I just got mine before the store closed by me. I must have rewatched that old video 7 times😂
Our tractor supply calls them feed lot panels for anyone having issues
Same here
I went with hog panels bc I can move them on my own
The one I just got is rolled.... do you think that will work.
Tractor Supply in PA, calls them cattle panels! Hahahaha
Thank you!
That was very helpful!
I love how you are pouring into us new gardeners!! Been a follower for quite a while and wanted to say thank you for pouring love into us during this stressful time. My son and I are learning where we are at, and we are loving your videos!! ♥️♥️
Please Please write a “how to” book. It would be a best seller. You have helped me with my garden so much. However I forget half of hat you say since I am older. Would be great to have written instructions. You and family are amazing.
She needs to write a book on Tomato 🍅 seed collection addiction!!!! Complete with pic and story for each seed and how she collected and grew them! Hahaha
I’ve started a note book and take notes from the great wisdom Jessie, Melissa K Norris and Homesteading Family share. These folks all have so much on their plates that I feel it’s my responsibility to make a book for myself. I couldn’t ever publish it because it’s not my knowledge but it’s a great resource should I not be able to find it online. .
I've been linking your older video to my friends who ask me about vertical gardening. We installed a "trellis" with fencing because I don't have a truck and couldn't get cattle panels home, but the trellis was inspired by your garden!
Thank you for all your tips and tricks during this time, they've been super helpful for our family, and now I'm giving away a ton of extra plant starts to my neighbors so they can use them too!
Wow. Only a year ago.
So much has changed. 💕
I use cattle panel trellis for blackberry and tomatoes and also have hoop trellis, I built the hoop trellis with two panels making it 108" (9ft) long. the front and back bottom opening of the trellis is 8' wide and the height is 76". I built raised beds inside the trellis. This allows the trellis to be covered with plastic in the colder months and serve as a greenhouse or large cold frame to grow greens, veggies in pots, or store other potted plants.
You can save money when your boxes are wood by replacing the T- posts with screws. I’ve put my 4x4 boxes (2) with a 2 foot walkway through the middle . Then I took long wood screws (3) on each board, spaced. Then anchored the cattle panels with the screws. I have no issues. It could work according to your setup. Those t posts are expensive! ❤ from Walterboro SC
If you have something hanging out the back of your truck bed just tie a red rag on the part hanging out and you are legal to haul it home that way. I found two panels on the bad fencing of our big animal pen I didn’t measure them but I think the smaller one is 8ft. We drug them over to the garden and I have cucumbers planted for the shortest one and gourds for the bigger one. I also arched the bigger one over my asparagus bed to provide more shade on that bed and I have my lettuce growing in that bed also, so hopefully my lettuce won’t bolt as quickly when it really starts to get hot here.
Tractor Supply has these panels out on the sides of their building in the fencing area, all laid out for you to pick whatever sizes you want. As posted before, there are shorter ones, which I plan on using with my 4 X 8 ft beds and the long ones for arch trellis. Lowes has these out in the fencing... and you know what.. Walmart in some areas have them.
Here in Australia if you want to replicate this trellis you need to get Rio Grid or Mesh. Here in Oz a cattle panel is something completely different and you would never bend it in a million years. … also the T bars I think you called them are called “star pickets” here (Awesome information - thank you!)
@rootsandrefugefarm thank you so much for all your videos-such a gift!
I may or maynot have shoved 4 cattle pannels into our 12 passenger van (tow-strap holding the back doors semi-closed)...it worked! Got them home! 👊💪Although, I wouldn't encourage this method!😉
Can't wait to make one a larger arch (1 & 1/2 ziptied) so we can dine under it too!😍
Thank you again! May the Lord bless you all!!
Almost 4 years ago I ran into your video with your cattle panels and bought my first one because of you !
I put 3 pieces of wood (12 ft long) across the top of my luggage rack on my SUV and zip tied them down equally spread apart and drove home with 4 (16 ft long) cattle panels zip tied to the top of my SUV. :) Went pretty slow early one morning but got them home. :)
Bending cattle panels into a teardrop shape makes them fit easily into a small (Toyota Tacoma) truck bed. We got them at Tractor Supply last year, and the guy working there knew exactly how to fit them in and it was super easy! No problem at all. You can get at least 5 or 6 in one trip that way, maybe more!
Debbie Flores good to know!!!!!
They have withstood hurricanes and tropical storms with zero problems
Wow, that's sturdy!
Cali-Kim actually rolled them and fit them in the back of an suv... takes 2 people to get them rolled. I live in farm country and they sell for $26 each here. Of course, they went on sale to $21 the day after I bought mine. 😉
I didn't have access to a 16' trailer and thought we would have to cut them in half.. but talking to Tractor Supply in Nixa Mo. they told me we just needed a pickup truck, they would get them in. They loaded them in to the back of the bed and picked up the back (with a fork lift) and stood them up just like they would be in the garden.. and closed the tail-gait... Was a little work as we bought 10 and the normal load is 5. facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2790423931025782&set=pcb.2790424291025746&type=1&theater very happy now! thank you for the ideas.. keep them coming :)
the chimes approve.. lol.. pretty music to accompany your information.
I could listen to you talk all day about gardening!
You're totally right about the terminalogy issue. Here in S.E. Texas the guy on the other side of the phone didn't know "cattle panel" his catalogue had something like "galvanized heavy gauge trellis / panel 4' X 16" 6 Gauge wire mesh" either way, it's the same thing.
Confirmed bending them into a 6.5' truck bed can be done. 2 people to bend and lift over the tailgate. 4 or 5 is about the limit as you have to bend them all at once.
They also tend to release all of that potential energy all at once, when unloading .. so BE CAREFUL!!
Jason Avers haha, learned that the hard way. Easy in, sort of. Nearly disabled me for gardening getting off!
My husband got it done with our minivan 😁 . He only bought me one so it's a little easier
Lol, "hill of beans", you are awesome 😂
I'm growing my cherry tomatoes in one this year. Last year I did a florida weave six feet high. The plants grew up six feet , went iver the trellis and grew six feet downward! Hoping it works
I have grown 8' "MBombo" beans from Baker Creek on my trellis. I put one seed at every wire also . My husband and I have many meals throughout the summer, sold a few bread bags for the farmer's market, and left the last flush dry.........got a quart and a half of dried shucked beans. Very beautiful and bountiful.
We finally did it! After watching this video for a couple of years and wanting to do this. We finally did it! 😊 the beans and cucumbers are growing and so close to heading up the trellis. They're amazing! Thank you for your video! ❤😊❤
I've watched nearly all your videos Jess. I can't thank you enough! Do you ha e a video on how you created your irrigation system for watering? That would greatly help me! Thanks
That’s coming soon!
Me too! Really wanting to see this!
as always great informational video. as for the cattle panel wire gauge it is common 4 gauge wire. i grown my own garden vegetables for the last 45 plus years. first time i commented on a video. been watching for years . god bless,
Just wanted to let you know that I follow your instructions, and made a huge garden with arches. It worked out GREAT. I planted a mixture of spaghetti squash, yellow and green zucchini, buttercup squash, pole beans...and climbing nasturtiums.
It was absolutely beautiful and grew a ton of food.
I found I did not have to use any extra support for the (sometimes huge) spaghetti squash, I simply trained the end of the vines through the wire a bit each day.
I really appreciate your help with this arch garden! Relatively cheap to build, and looks like it will last forever!
Tractor Supply has them for usually a good price
Our town is set up so wonky. I live 2 blocks from the major city park. I also love like 6 blocks from our commercial farm feed and supply store. We don't have a truck. My husband and brother in law walked our panels home. Hahahahaha. My son is so excited for watermelons. I have basically planted snacks all over my yard. I dont plan on feeding my kids this summer. Hahaha
In Tennessee at Tractor Supply, I found and purchased 2 of the 14ft cattle panels or livestock panels for $14.99 each and they had the longer ones for $22.99. I am planning to use the shorter ones for my tomatoes and the longer ones to trellis my cucumber plants and grapes on in an arch design. Thank you for your tips, I have gained a lot of insight into various techniques from you. I truly appreciate the information you publish.
I just received two more panels as a birthday present. I can't wait to get them set up
Wow! Terrific video with where I am in my gardening journey. You just got a follower. Very well done
I'm rewatching old videos and Jess I love your hair in this one!!
I always love your cattle panel videos! 😄 You are a treasure, Jess... Thank you for the value you bring the world. 🤍
if you have concerns about the trellis collapsing measure from the top down to the ground and cut a V notch in one end of a 2x4 and cut the 2x4 about 2" longer than the measurement top to bottom, use this as a brace in the center of the cattle panel to support the trellis.
I FEEL SO MUCH SMARTER WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS... THANK YOU
Thank you Jess!!!
That cattle panel trellis video is how I found your channel☺
I use two t- post per side, no issues with wind or snow in the winter. What I learned is you want the arch to be lower than you think. It’s really hard to pick loads of beans and things if your trellis is high. And boy does it hurt your neck. They are sooo beautiful though. Last year my arches were kinda high and I hung hanging baskets full of flowers two that I could walk under. My husband hated it though cuz he always walked into them and hit his head🤪
Hey ya'll thank ya'll so much for being here for me .. been a huge help... this is my first year backyard gardening.. its only 400 sqft an im using up a panels length for beans... so this an the other original video have been crucial for me... Thanks again..
Thanks for the extra info! Also, I found the panels by calling them stockade panels/stockade fence!
I just inspired many of my people around me to start growing with arched trellises #ThankYouJess #MyFavoriteHomesteadinLady #RootsAndRefugeForever
You really inspired me when you said your waiting room can be a learning space! We dont own so we are doing kiddie pool planting! I'm so excited! They fit so much more than youd think!
Thanks Jess!
Love the wind chimes.relaxing.
You have helped to save my life! God bless you and your family!
Great , gonna do something similar in the coming days. Thank you for sharing.
Perfect timing! I’m getting 10 cattle panels tomorrow 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
linda williams my dream❤️
Thank You! You are awesome! God Bless You
Gardening Friends are the Best Friends. Down to Earth ;)
I love to see your uploads!!
I can not believe you posted this update today. I just an hour ago came home with my fencing and poles to get started on our trellis between our two raised beds. Thank you so much! I also brought home some 55 gal drums to cut in half and make planters. FUN!
Fantastic video... I have 6 cattle panels trellis...love them..tractor supply..$23 in VA
Great video. At our Tractor Supply in Moore, Oklahoma the panels are called feedlot panels. We just brought 25 home last weekend strapped to a headache rack on the top of a truck. They’re $24.99 each but if you buy 25 you get a quantity discount of 5%. They are very thick, we are working on getting them installed this weekend!
Thanks for the review we needed that.
Thanks for that Jess. Everyone give a thumbs-up!. I just use the cattle panels place on their edge and staked. I don't think my wife would think the Arches are aesthetically pleasing! I also have one panel of a dog kennel that I grow Vining things up. I am in an HOA restricted urban community so I try to keep things from showing Too Much from the street. LOL
I have an HOA too though it is a weaker one than most. My whole garden is in front since that's where we have sun. The whole front yard is woodchipped, so I need to be more aware of aesthetics since we are already standing out. I'd suggest a big long row of show stopper flowers & shrubs along the front edge. Showy flowers tend to win people over. In addition we go heavy on the flowers throughout. For example nasturtiums have great flowers but we eat the greens so it's a pleaser for passers by but also useful as food and also companion planting.
Thank you--I needed this one especially!
Fantastic video, Jess! Thanks for the info!
Thank you! This is EXACTLY the video I needed!
I do mine with rolled fencing supported over a narrow path. Rolled fencing is easy to transport.
We just put some cattle panel trellises up last weekend! I referenced your videos many times to design it!
Great information
you teach awsomly..
Thank you Jess. I don't know how I missed this, other than I've only found you recently, and I'm trying to catch up without missing any current videos or live streams. Thanks again!
Really loving the dailey video's!!
I always feel blessed by your videos (especially when I'm in the top 20 comments)
Such a great video, so much great info.. ty Jess, love you and your family.
i really enjoy you and your family. you are down to earth and tell it like it is.very refreshing
We love your videos! Thanks! You have changed our whole way of doing things!
Yay! Thank you for posting this follow up video for faqs. :)
Going to try panels this year and was hoping someone would put out a video on them. Thank you♥️
you will love the panels! we do!
So fun to watch you and learn from you. Authentic!
Good information Jess. Thank you and God bless y’all.
Thank you thank you!!!! These were all the things I had been wondering... Very helpful.
I’m putting some of these up this year. This video answered all my questions! Thanks so much! I even chose to subject myself to an entire graphic ad about deodorant for stinky bacteria in private parts to get this comment in instead of discarding it.
So excited to see this video. I recently put up some arch trellises
Concrete rebar should work. The only thing is, those panels rust the moment you buy them if not before, so you'd have to paint them with something appropriate.
The devil is trying to murder my plants & I am not pleased. It hit 45° Monday and it’s 90° outside right now. Pick a season Texas!
I put one up yesterday!!! So excited!
You are such a beautiful blessing. Thank you.♥️
Thanks again for the information 😎
Love the planting space and esthetic advice!!! I like things symmetrical too - so thanks a bunch!
We saw your videos & we are going to try Cattle panel gardening. We also ordered your book for beginning gardeners because that’s us…beginners. Thanks for everything.
Saw your other video on cattle panel trellises.....Bought 2 so far.... Love this idea. Will be getting more!
Great info; thank you!
To be honest, I think I have watched the video you talk about probably 10 times. I want this for my garden so much, but I don't have a way to get them home. And I live within a mile of a farm supply store. lol. So, I am going to improvise this year. Not sure it will work, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Wish me luck, Jess. And thank you for sharing.
Thank you for being so grounded and helpful! God bless you!
Thank you again so much. The link's great, too.
