Lee,
You are like myself. It is easy to train the vines but do it little by
litle each day. My best is 579lb, I think I could do more. You need
good soil and godd plant management. My buddy grew a 596 on a 8x8'
garden bed. Write me directly at this address and I can give you more
info if you are interested. Also, some of the info is on my webpage
www.playground.net/~bkaye.
Good Luck
Bruce
