Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Trudi- I love the sound of this!On the same note- My neighbor was throwing
away tons of wisteria vines- thick and thin- and I wove them into a 7 ft
tall by 10 ft long trellislike thing--held together and  attached to my six
foot redwood fence with-you guessed it- Cable ties!-My yellow climbing rose
is all over it and I love it.Will have to try your idea somewhere in my
yard-sounds pretty to me-Teri
