7. Trellis the vines is a tip for caring for cucumber plants.
This will keep the cucumbers clean and saves a lot of space. Wire fencing or hog wire is the best to use when you trellis the vines.
As the cucumbers begin to grow, they can grow on the trellis and stay off the ground. This can prevent a lot of bugs from getting on the leaves as well. There is no way to prevent bugs from getting on them completely, but it will help out a bit.
It is better than the cucumbers being completely on the ground. Make the trellis as big as you want. It all depends on how many cucumbers you want to grow.
Once one batch of cucumbers grow, you can figure out if the trellis needs to be bigger or smaller. A trellis is easy to make and it doesn’t take much time.
