Cucumber Garden Trellis   The cucumber trellis is a new addition to our backyard garden. The trellis has been a great success and we have thoroughly enjoyed the benefits of this garden feature. The trellis was installed over a pathway between two existing raised concrete garden beds. We wanted to experiment with a self watering wicking bed. The soil on one side of the bed was dug out and the wicking system was installed. Please view our project, that you may endeavor to also try a trellis in your backyard garden.  Purchased from a hardware store 16 ft.
