I'm a first year planter and have read dozens of posts, thanks for all the good info! I don't have a yard but I do have a large patio so I'm going to have to grow in containers. I plan to use a few large 20 gallon containers with 1 rhizome in each and a fan style trellis to attach twine to. I'd like to drop 2-3 twine lines per container but I've read that if the lines are too close, the bines will jump between them and become a mess. How close is too close? The containers are about 21" in diameter. I assume the lines need to be staked pretty close to where the bines come up too. Would one line in the center, and lines about 6" to either side be close enough to train the bines and still be far enough apart that they don't get all bunchy?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
