The video referenced is, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xv7Q89z2qM&feature=channel I really like the Florida Weave for inside my high tunnel. My tunnel will not support hanging them from the structure. Here is how I do it. I place a steel 6.5 "T" post at each end of the row. Then I place one steel post in the middle. I drive 1 by 2 wood posts between every 2 plants. These wood posts are old rough cut pine from an old house that my Dad tore down over 30 years ago. I rip them in half and cut to length. These rows are 40 feet long. I tie twine at one end and pull it tight and wrap it around the next post and continue down the row. I pull my very tight. All the ones I see the twine is loose and sagging. Mine is fiddle string tight. Then I tie it off at the end and start down the other side. Doing it the same way. http://www.foogod.com/~torquill/barefoot/weave.html I do it just like this, but I don't cross the twine before I wrap it around the post. It runs straight along the face of wood posts and wraps around. Maybe I will make a short video of it next time I weave them. That could be today.
