Option 1: The double pergola<\/strong> Why settle for one pergola when you can have two? Picture this: two majestic structures in the shape of a cross, standing proudly at a height of 2.5 metres. Each arm of the cross is 1.5 metres wide, and they face each other, 5 metres apart. A real palace for your kiwis!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 2: The DIY pergola in 4 steps<\/strong> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Site preparation<\/strong> Before you embark on this adventure, make sure the ground is ready. A bit like baking a cake, except you can't eat it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Main trunk construction<\/strong> The backbone of your pergola. Solid, reliable, a bit like a garden structure superhero.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Branches and framework<\/strong> : Here, you play architect and carpenter. A cross between Leonardo da Vinci and Bob the Builder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Installation of wire and support rods<\/strong> Like the strings of a guitar, they will support the melody of your garden, with kiwis as musical notes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    How to make a kiwifruit stand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Wire selection<\/strong> Forget flimsy wire: we're talking about fairly thick wire capable of supporting the weight of your kiwifruit, a bit like a garden weightlifter. Place spacers every 2 metres, 40 to 50 cm apart, to keep the wires away from the wall. It's a bit like creating a breathing space for your plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to support kiwifruit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The trellising method<\/strong> As with vines, use several wires stretched along a wall. These wires should be garden Hercules, sturdy and well anchored. Imagine delicately attaching this year's shoots to the support, without coiling them, as if gently guiding them towards the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How far apart are 2 kiwifruit plants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Spacing and planting<\/strong> For optimum sunlight, maintain a royal distance of 2.5 metres between each Kiwifruit plant. Think of the pollination dance: one male and one female plant, or opt for a self-fertilizing Kiwifruit variety, like a soloist in a symphony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In short, building a pergola for kiwifruit is a bit like creating an oasis in your garden, a place where nature and structure meet to create something beautiful and productive. Good luck with your gardening adventure!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
