I really need help with weed control. I have used weed cloth in the past with minimal success. Was curious about crushed rock.

Also , still working on finalizing a trellis plan. Any suggestions or pictures to share?

You can use mulch for the weeds, I'm planning on planting clover.
I've used miracle grow and noticed the bines growing faster.
This is my trellis set up, poles are 10' high 10' apart with 2 plants in between, and I used 1/4" twine.

Could you share you support system for the trellis up rights?

Thinking about using 1" steel black pipe 10 ft'ers for my trellis up rights. This will support 4 plants. Any one done this before? Pointers?
