| name | trellis |
| description | Use when a crop is supported vertically — trellising/staking holds vining or heavy crops (tomatoes, cucumbers, pole beans, peas) off the ground for airflow, quality, and harvest access; methods scale from stake-and-weave (basket weave) for determinates to lower-and-lean string for indeterminates. Vertical support trades labor/materials for yield, quality, and disease reduction. |

trellis — supporting the crop vertically
trellis is vertical support for a [[crop]] — holding vining or heavy plants (tomatoes, cucumbers, pole beans, peas) off the ground for airflow (less disease), quality (clean fruit), and harvest access. Methods scale with growth habit: staking and stake-and-weave (basket weave — twine woven around posts at rising heights) suit determinate tomatoes; lower-and-lean string trellis suits indeterminates, the vine lowered as it climbs. Cucurbits and beans climb netting or cattle panel.
Trellising trades a labor and materials [[cost]] (posts, twine, the weekly clipping/leaning) for higher marketable [[yield]], better [[grade]], and lower disease pressure ([[scouting]]). It pairs with [[pruning]] (a trellised indeterminate is also suckered) and is set by the crop's growth habit (determinate vs indeterminate).
