Running the Botanicare Horti-Trellis 4 x 8 ft Over a Table
Horti-Trellis is plant support mesh in pliable plastic, cut here to 4 ft by 8 ft with 6 in squares. Laid flat over a bench it becomes the scrog layer that branches get woven through as they stretch. Stood upright against stakes it does the same work for vines and anything else that wants to climb. The squares are wide enough to reach a hand through, which matters more than it sounds at defoliation time.
What Sets 8 ft Trellis Netting Apart From String Net
String net grabs everything on the way out. It usually ends the season in the bin. This mesh peels off, rinses and goes back up, which is where it earns its place over a few cycles. It is netting rather than a rigid panel, so it still needs stakes, a frame or a tent crossbar to hold its shape. Growers covering a full bench rather than one table are better served by a longer roll than by joining panels end to end.
Key Features
- 4 ft x 8 ft cut: Covers a single table or a 4 by 8 tent footprint without trimming or joining.
- 6 in squares: Wide enough to reach through for defoliation and to weave branches without forcing them.
- Pliable plastic: Bends where you want it and holds its shape, instead of collapsing into itself like soft string.
- Comes off without tangling: The whole reason growers switch from string net, since removal is where a season's patience goes.
- Horizontal or vertical: Flat as a scrog layer over a bench, or upright against support stakes for climbing crops.
