UMN Extension and Renewing the Countryside are hosting two field days this month, all about pruning and trellising in high tunnels. We'll meet at the high tunnel on the University of Minnesota's St. Paul campus, where we've set up tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers with different types of trellises. You'll get to see the different systems, learn about the pros and cons of each, and get some hands-on experience with pruning each crop.
Systems we will feature include: nets, basketweave, single leader, double leader, and lower & lean.
- Monday June 23, 10am - 12pm
- Saturday June 28, 10am - 12pm
These events are free, but we ask that you register ahead of time so we can make sure to have enough snacks and supplies on hand.
