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.
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.
Wrapping anything around your plants will potentially harm them no matter
what twine you use. I suggest using tomato trellis clips and you should
have no problems. Check em out!
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

Thank you for your comments. At the beginning I kept trying to improve the

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