okay I absolutely love my blackberries and raspberries but did you know that if you grow them vertically it is much easier to pick all the berries and you don't scrape your hands on the thorns since I moved into my new 1948 farmhouse I've had to transplant all of my blackberry and raspberry bushes so I need to build the trellis so the first stop the lumber department at Sutherlands oh my gosh I cannot believe they have this okay normally I put concrete in the holes of my post to keep it sturdy but look what they have I cannot believe this I've not found this anywhere this is the fence post backfill but it's actually two parts you mix it together it foams up and as solid as concrete one box of this equals one bag of concrete oh my gosh I'm so excited I know it's just the little things in life isn't it I cannot believe they have this okay I think I'll need two per post awesome okay now that I have my barry post I'm going to hang a hanging basket off of it it's gonna look so gorgeous and Sutherlands has a huge selection of hanging baskets the flowering kind and also these ferns would you look how giant this print is this is gorgeous you can't even see my head I'll take it I already have a pretty giant blackberry and raspberry patch but you can never have too many okay let's get to work I'm going to dig a two-foot hole for the posts and place some crush rock at the bottom of the hole then I'll put the post in the hole and make sure it's level here comes the fun part I've gently popped off the clip of the fast 2k post backfill and we'll rub the bag with moderate force along around hard edge kind of like your shining shoes do this for about 30 seconds to make sure it is mixed well now cut off a corner of the bag and evenly disperse it in the hole around the post before it starts to set up again make sure that the post is level the foam will fill up the hole in a matter of minutes and please make sure to carefully read the instructions that come with the fast 2k fence post backfill before you use it you just need to wait 15 to 30 minutes for the phone to harden then you can cut off any excess at the ground level then you can cover the top with dirt now I'm going to cut the cross bars for the trellis and screw them in place now I'll add the beautiful copper post topper and paint the trellis post black once the paint is dry I'll add the trellis wires I'm adding screw I hooks to the post side and screw hooks to the fence side and connecting them with 16 gauge wire however I am adding a turnbuckle to the wire so I can tighten it over the summer so the wire won't sag as the vines get bigger all that's left to do is add the hanging basket brackets the gorgeous Boston ferns oh and some very adorable signs so you need a trellis in your yard well there's no rule that says that can't be a really cute trellis this turned out even cuter than I imagined now my inspiration were those old-time lamp posts like you see at the park you know the ones had a beautiful hanging baskets maybe a street sign so now all summer long I can stroll down blackberry Boulevard or take a right on raspberry Road and you can get as creative as you want with this project I mean you can paint the post really bright colors or you can have a flowering hanging basket but I think what made this project so doable and so quick was this past 2k I've always wanted to use it and it did not let me down it's amazing now comes the waiting waiting for these blackberries and raspberries to grow but don't worry I'll be posting pictures of the blackberries and raspberries as they grow all summer long all through the trellis and don't forget don't just build it right build it better with Sutherlands I'll see you there grow grow come on guys grow come on grow grow come on babies you can do it grow
