Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Sometimes it's nice to have an idea why a change was made. I assume that T's are more efficient, perhaps in a few ways. It seems so, intuitively, for reasons of less material, more exposure to sun & air, thus, more production for less cost. But if you can put a pic on the Photo section someday, it would be historically interesting. I can see that perhaps some crop that likes less sun, in a very sunny area, might benefit... a somewhat rare case.

BareRoot Season, looms. Plan ahead. ;>)

Bill & Group:

Dr. M found that A-Frames made of 2 X 4s were bulky, expensive, and in the way. 2 X 2s were not strong enough, and would break or fall over with the weight of a good crop.

T-Frames using 4 X 4s:
1) are STRONG,
2) last forever (use treated lumber and remove in winter),
3) are NOT in the way (when properly placed on the ridge of a soil-bed or the edge of a box),
4) give plants maximum light when ONE row of plants is spread to BOTH sides of the T

There are probably more advantages that I can't think of at the moment. Any ideas out there?
