Here is how I made a simple trellis or tower for my balcony vegetable garden. I am still experimenting with my balcony garden. Of course, I guess most gardeners are experimenters. I did not know how well plants would grow on my limited sunlight balcony. I am surprised at how well the tomatoes did. 
I now realize I will be better off focusing on plants that will grow vertically and wll be making a lot more trellises.
 I never grew malabar spinach before and have been very happy. The spinach germinates quickly, nearly every seed grew well. The flavor is mild and pleasant. it also enjoys the heat.

 Unrelated to gardening, while looking on youtube to see what people are using hubcaps for, I did not find anyone using them for a trellis, but did find a lot of people using hubcaps to make banjos and guitars. There are some fascinating musical videos on youtube using hubcaps.
 Finally, the plants are in tomato juice cans, but the cans should have been placed in a shallow tray or container in the milk crate or a plastic bag liner so I could ghave added water to the container and watered the plants in the cans from the bottom which works better. I may add a plastic liner in the bottom of the milk crate.
 The cost of this trellis was almost free as the wood was scrap I scrounged as was the milk crate and hubcap.
 I hope this is something you can use.
 if you like my videos, I add more every week.

 If not, I appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos and hope you make some videos to share too.
