"Although the description says the kit includes monofilament, mine came with a natural fiber string instead. I haven't had a chance to install these yet, but I have a feeling they will work beautifully.
I used a sawed off section of plastic culvert pipe that is just slightly larger than the diameter of the bottom ring to form a "raised bed" and will be using these to grow sweet pea flowers (Lathyrus odoratus) and then snow peas and pole beans later.

"Good product... could use more string for the trellising. Of course the string is pretty cheap so the main thing is that the pole and hoops are high quality and I was completely satisfied with those. I do wish the pole was longer so I could sink more of the bottom into the ground."

A must for small gardens,

"What a great product! Sturdy, yet compact for storage. I grew out of tubs, due to a limited sized backyard, snap peas and purple pole beans. Not only does it allow the crops to grow well in a tight spot, it makes seeing and picking your crops easier to do."
