We have a little bamboo patch in the backyard. It's a good and possibly bad thing. If they start taking over the entire yard, then it's a bad thing. If they stay in their own area, I can use them for various purposes. I knew that I wanted to use them to make trellis for growing anything that climbs. A couple months ago I planted my kiwi vines out in the garden. They have really flourished. This week is spring break, and I knew that I had to take this opportunity to cut down some bamboo and make a trellis for the kiwi vines.
I have the perfect tool for sawing off the bamboo. About four years ago, I bought a Pocket Boy. It's a cute little saw that can easily hurt someone seriously. It only took seconds to saw off a bamboo stick. I saw off about 20 of them. One thing to watch out for is getting splinters from the bamboo. They are so fibrous and sharp. I put on some gloves after getting many tiny splinters. I saw off the top part with the leaves before pounding the bigger ones into the soil. I used some ribbon from old gift wraps to tie the horizontal sticks. They aren't all straight and even, but that's okay. I think they will be functional. Once the kiwi vines wrap around the trellis, you won't be able to see much of the trellis itself anyway. I will show you how it all looks in a few months.
Bamboo Trellis is very useful and we quite often see this in our garden or backyard of our house. This bamboo trellis used for protecting some fruit and vegetable plants. This can give protection to creepers too like Pumpkin and Cucumber. So, many uses of bamboo we can see here. Thanks for sharing. Bamboo home materials and also bamboo watches are very popular these days.
