The trellis is an efficient and effective method of growing fruits and vegetables. In addition to growing plants upright (think tomatoes), it confines brambles and other small fruits to their growing space. It is a must for growing grapes. The trellis also
allows dwarf tree fruits to be grown in a more efficient manner.
Join adjunct faculty Rich Tobiasz as he focuses on using the trellis on your farm, starting indoors with a presentation and then outdoors on the MCC Student Farm where you’ll see multiple types of trellises in use, including for growing hops. Emphasis will
be on functionality and “scalable” examples. Bring your construction questions.
There will be 3 more "Technical Workshops" on Sunday afternoons, August 13 (Tomato Care), and October 6 (Season Extension)
