Cucumber Trellis » Need One? Store Bought or DIY?

 

 

Do you need a trellis for your cucumber vines? Should it be store bought or can you make one yourself?

Incidentally, it's best to sub-irrigate your raised beds whether you use a trellis or not. You will produce more and better cukes along with whatever else you are growing while saving water and time.
