7-27-2014 As you can see I used a trellis as the back support. The stakes and the bottles support each plant. I was going to tie the bamboo stakes to together at the top to form a trellis. Instead as they grew, I wrapped the vines around the stakes in the bottles. I need the trellis in the back for the height support. The solar lighting stands a little over 3 feet tall. 3d, Outdoor, Trellis, Bamboo Stakes, Stakes, Outdoor Structures

7-27-2014 This year I put the bamboo stakes in after the plant came through the bottle opening. I think it worked out better last year by putting the stake in at the time of planting. Plant

7-27-2014 My green beans under pop bottles. Because of the weather temperatures going up and down, I lost some plants in my garden and some of the green beans. The bed can hold 36 bottles. Canning, Green Beans

Beans planted 5-10-2014. First one starting to come out of the bottle. Notice how many weeds you do not have to deal with by using the bottles. Bean Plant, Green

2013 - When I decided to grow the beans completely under the pop bottles this year, I thought they were pole beans. I used the seeds from last year which are bush beans but the idea still worked. Seeds, Bush Beans

2013 - I start my green beans, etc. under pop bottles for a green house effect. This year, I decided to add a bamboo stake to the green bean bottles, leave the bottles on and see if they would grow up through the bottle opening.  After they cleared the bottle opening, I was able to tie 6 stakes together at the top to form a trellis. Hope this idea works. Easy planting, easy weeding and plants are secure.
