How to Build Bamboo Pepper Supports
- 1). Plant your peppers in a spot with full sun and rich soil. Space the plants 18 inches apart in rows that are two feet apart.
- 2). You'll need two 3-foot tall U-shaped bamboo stakes for each support. To make the support, center one U-shaped stake over a pepper plant. Then, drive each leg of the stake 10 inches into the soil.
- 3). Take the second U-shaped stake and center it crosswise over the first stake (the top of the two stakes should form an X when viewed from above). Drive each leg of this stake 10 inches into the soil. You should now have a bamboo support that forms a column around the plant and crisscrosses at the top.
- 4). Make sure each leg of the support is evenly driven into the ground and the top of the support is level. Then, secure the two stakes together by wrapping an 18-inch piece of sisal twine around the point where the tops of the stakes cross.
