Hi Jerry, This will be my 6th year using vegetable netting. This link pretty well explains it.

I'm in Water Valley, MS.
The old growth can be easily removed. When the crop is finished, use a hoe and cut the plants off at the ground, let the vines die and dry and they will crumble off easy-peasy.
The trellis works well for peas, pole beans, climbing limas, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant.
The trellis lasts for 3 - 4 years and the pvc conduit is on its seventh year and still going strong. Claud
