New raspberry trellis installed for in-ground plants

by

Jeremy, Randy and Steven built new trellises for the in-ground raspberries using metal that we had on hand. The top width is adjustable so we can see what works best. Raspberries in the high tunnel tend to grow taller than those we observed in field plantings.

The skid steer was used to auger the holes about 4 feet deep.

Randy, who is about six feet tall, stands next to the installed trellis. A bolt will hold the assembly to the post.
