Re: trellis height

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

Well, the electrical conduit that I already have is in 10 foot lengths and
I had originally planned to cut off three feet from each pipe. I figured to
hang my netting from it before pounding it into the ground. I guess I'll
leave it full-height unless somebody convinces me otherwise.

Really like the idea of hangin a bird feeder from the top. Do you suppose
the squirrels can climb the netting (7 inch holes)?
