production: Flux veggie trellis
May 29, 2012
In the shop, we have been in full blown production on our installation for Flux Factory. It is going to be a crazy vine vegetable growing trellis structure with integrated sub-irrigated planters, and a lot of sculptural chaos. We are using hundreds of strips of reclaimed wood, donated to us by M. Fine Lumber, to create the structure. The connections are a pretty simple, lo-fi system: eye hooks and zip ties. The ease of assembly and flexibility of the system is allowing us to build huge chunks of the piece before installing it on the roof at Flux.
Come check it out at the opening, or some time over the growing season at Flux Factory. It will have pole beans, trombone squash, and tomatoes for sure. Maybe more…
Below is one of the many sub-irrigated planters being built which will sit at the base of the trellis structures…
