Kelley,
Rob messaged me that he uses bolt cutters for crw. I knew it wouldn't be easy with just a fencing tool.
I have one approach that would probably work but I haven't tried it yet. I might give it a go in my secondary garden next year. I used nylon string trellis held up by 2x2's for a few years. It worked okay but I had to prune a lot. I wonder what a double trellis would do. I could put one on each side of the row of plants and let them grow up in between. I will have to see how big my plants get in that plot before I try it. Some of my main garden plants are already over 7 feet tall. If the secondary ones get that big, the double trellis idea probably wouldn't be practical as their weight would probably bring the trellis down once they are loaded with fruit.
