Trellis Wicket Farm Starter Kit

The Wicket trellis system is used for tomatoes and cucumbers. Hook and Wicket trellising was developed at Neversink Farm for small scale growers. Wickets farm starter includes 110 Wickets Wickets can be combined with any lower and lean Hook system (Qlipr Hook, Roller Hook, or Tomahook) to avoid the problematic "leaning" portion of the lower and lean method. Rather the tomato or cucumber vines are laid or layered on top of wickets. The vine never leans but is lowered and moved. This reduces unnecessary time and effort as well as stress on the plant, while keeping fruits and vines off the ground. Wickets are zinc plated heavy duty 6mm steel. Each wicket is made of three pieces. A pack of 11 weighs over 15 pounds. Wickets should be placed at minimum every 20” within the row. They keep your cucumber or tomato vines 17 inches off the ground. Risers can be purchased seperatly to raise the wickets 10". For 30 inch Bed you would be using a 24" Wicket For 40 inch Bed you would be using a 34" Wicket
