great info, I'm growing vertical in 2017 myself. Thanks.

I am sure that you will find good way to make it on woodprix Webpage.

I use double-sided velcro tape for tying. You can buy a big roll from IT suppliers and cut it to lengths (it's used for network cable management). Easy. Reusable. Just be sure to use the soft side on the inside against the plant.

Police sirens and Ice cream trucks! URBAN farming yall! Lol. Love it! Thanks John. God bless you in the mighty name of Jesus bro!

interesting and fruitful to me thanks for you well practise

great video. I like these how tos.

would have run to the truck :D

I checked a lot of woodworking handbooks. Those from woodprix are the best.

Nice hair cut haha

My cucumber doesn't grow much, the fruits are turning yellow and eventually dies.

I have white cucumbers that are growing. There is no powdery stuff on them or the leaves. I read it's because they haven't gotten enough sun. Can I cut back leaves and get them to turn green again? Will they be any good?? What should I do with them?? Daniellovesrebecca@gmail

Hey John,I'm looking for a video or some info on growing cucumber runners,cany you help at all?
by way your vids have taught me lots

excellent stuff keep it up. just began my videos again getting some inspiration. hope you like, if you do hit up a sub :)

Well done and very interesting!

I completely promote the suckers on my tomatoe plants. I have pruned tomatoe plants by taking the suckers off, and by promoting the sucker by snapping off the branch it was connected to. Their is no comparison in the yield of fruit between the two processes. Promoting the suckers wins hands down :)

Called tendrils

Where can I purchase the clamps. I learned a lot from you video

Can I top off cucumber plants? Mine are 9' and still going.
