Question on attaching the upper wire. Do I put the bolts in and then attached the 9 gage wire or are you saying we should attach the wire and let the action of twisting in the bolt help tighten the wire?

Where can I find a complete list of what I need to construct my garden, i.e. wood, soil, covers, etc?

When you brought the PVC hoops to the inside, did you trim them?

I cant thank you enough. Your videos and teaching, sharing and careing came straight from the heart. I have learned so much from you and my 12yr old daughter are having a wonderful summer in our vertical garden putting mittleider methid and learning from you into practice.

Very helpful. Thank you!

Is that a regular PVC? What size,wow soo smart

I wanna do that.nice work

This video provides basic information that are very useful especially to vertical gardeners. There are recommendations that are applicable to help you while setting up this kind of garden. It's really worth it and I found it very informative. Hence, I appreciate your sharing.

I was a parachute rigger in the Navy and a theatrical rigger after. There is a saying about Crosby clips {u bolt and galvanized steel device [called a saddle] holding your cable on the thimble} "never "saddle" a dead horse" you have 3 clips in place as recommended on package to retain lifting strength of cable however you have clips #'s 1&3 up side down[dead horse= the end of the cable and the u bolt closest to it should be u bolt on the dead end. in this application I would have only used 2

Love watching people toss a ton of money at things.

Subscribed. Thank you for sharing.

could you do a quick video describing the difference in wrapping the twine around the plant and wrapping the plant around the twine? Thank you for doing these videos, I know they are time consuming but they are very informative, motivational and a wee bit convicting. would you be willing to come to Shreveport and do a seminar at the LDS church here.? Last year they did a preparedness fair that was well attended. Hope all is well

Thank you for your comments. We have used the clips for many years. My experience is they last about one year. But you never know when they are going to break. Because they break and the mason line (thin poly line) also breaks the majority of my wife's vertical plants have fallen. Some completely damaged other we were able to save. We now both use the baler twine. Because of the money she has spent it is taking her longer to stop using the clips. But she has almost all of them off her plants now

Thank you for your comments. At the beginning I kept trying to improve the system. I learned I can't. This video shows "improvements" I made and now have hanged. I don't use packaging twine, extra hardware to tighten the wire and I put the PVC arch in the inside. I added the additional wire on top after seeing Jim Kennard's garden a few weeks ago. Sometimes I think we (he) does things and it is so natural he forgets to share the details. I'm all about details. I hope these help you and others.

I recommend 170 lbs baler twine. I added a link in the description box below the video. I hope that helps.

just a .great video right from the heart .where do you get the bailer twine 140 lbs strenght.

Thanks so much updating your tips. I too agree, learning at someone else's expense is by far the most cost effective. So all I can do right now is thank you for sharing caring and your humility. Oh, and producing a very easy to hear and listen to production.

Great info! I have been using the MM for several years with great success and your videos still are teaching me useful tips. It really is true that the closer you adhere to the method the more success you will have. I have seen a lot of people "improve" upon the method with little success, but you have given several tips that really do improve the system. Keep it up.

Love all your vids. Very helpful and real. Your offgrid experience was a great reality check. Keep the faith brother and keep posting!

Thanks for sharing your experience. You have some great tips here that could be used in many setups.
