Three Ways to Help Vines Climb
1. Run gardening twine, fishing line
or wire up a post, or in an up-anddown pattern along a fence
or wall. On wood, use nails or
screw-in hooks as the anchors for
the twine. On concrete or stucco,
use a masonry drill bit to drill a
small hole for an anchor sleeve,
then screw in the hook.
