Hi There,

Yes I have trellised zucchini in my square foot garden. I use the trench
method to grow my tomotoes, zucchini, crooknecks, and cukes and grow
them on a trellis. I use the nylon netting that you can buy at any
hardware garden supply store. I also use the tall plastic poles that you
buy at the same places. I use a nylon cord strung through the top of the
netting and tied around the poles to add strength. Had great results as
this make it easier to water, pick and keep the fruit clean.
