Have a new idea for trellising cantaloupes, watermelons and squash on the vines.

If I use knitted shade cloth by Dewitt it won't unravel when I cut it. So I add a grommet to all four corners and cut the shade cloth big enough in a square to handle the large watermelon I have on there now. I can secure it to the trellis with zip ties for each corner. I can make as many hammocks as I need and can buy the grommets at Lowe's down the road.
