Hi All.
Tim, The "dolly" is just an old piece of 1/2" plywood and cheap plasics casters leftover from a Ikea file cabinet. They had a 1/2" post on them, so I just drilled a slightly smaller hole in the ply and tapped them in. The cage was easy and took about 30 minutes to do.
3-ten foot sticks of 1/2" pvc, 4- 1/2" elbows, and 8- 1/2" tee's. I used 2" x 4" x 4 foot wide wire cuz I had it lying around. I will be cutting the holes larger as the plant grows. The first 4 tees are used for a cross member on the sides of the container, just under the lip. The other 4 tees are about a foot up and turned outward, to help support the wire and leave a gap to access the fill tube. I wrapped a piece of duct tape at the bottom to help during assembly also. Four, 4 foot pieces of pvc, complete the "frame". Plastic ties were used to attach the wire. I did screw the bottom of the frame into the dolly but did not glue any of the pvc together. Finished. the cage sits 5 feet above the container and is 28 inches in diamter. Additional wire and pvc can be added if needed. NOW....when the plant reaches about 4 feet tall....I'm gonna tie a rope around it , put on some inline skates......and go windsurfing up and down the street !!
Mantis, Only one plant here and it's "Doc" of the Dwarf Project being co-ordinated by Craig and Patrina. This setup has helped isolate the plant to insure no crossing and I do have 8 fruits set at this time.
Dave, Awesome greenhouse and plants NICE !!!!!
MsC, Thanks and Happy Growing to you and all!
