graibeard's Arbor garden

Garden Type: Footpath | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Sand I'm Organic!

These mesh Trellis’s or Arbors span the footpaths between the various garden beds. The idea is that beans, cucumbers or other climbing vegetables can be grown at the edge or border of each garden bed and up over the footpath.
No need to climb all over the garden beds to harvest the crop, take some small steps (ladder) and do it from the walkway. Hopefully they won’t interfere with the through traffic, if they do grow a bit wider than expected then they can be set back from the borders edge at the next planting.
