More and more people today are growing their own food. If you are planning a huge garden or if you have hundreds of plants in your yard, buying trellises for them to climb can get expensive. I was trimming my pine trees and realized i could use the branches to build a free trellis! I used pine branches, but certainly any tree branches could be used. This trellis is pretty big. Smaller ones can be created for flower beds.

A similar idea is to create a "live fence," by planting willows or bamboo, for example, and then weaving them into a fence as they grow. There is a fair amount of information online about how to do this.
