Greetings,
I have been growing my cucumbers on trellises for years. I plant at 6 inch spacing at the bottom of remesh, [concrete reinforcing mesh] supported by t-posts every 6 feet. I find I have far fewer mildew/disease problems this way and it is much easier to harvest.
Bright Blessings,
Kim

Need some input on growing cucumbers on trellis. We grow pickling cucumbers about .5 acre per planting. Labor cost for harvest is getting real costly, I thought maybe we could pick faster and have cleaner fruit if trellised. What is your ideas.? Thanks Bill
