    “My C-BITE trellis is going on its 4th year!  I love that I can quickly make something sturdy to support my plants.  They are the strongest things in the garden, even with the sun beating on them!”

    Wendi Phan, @itswendiland

    “C-BITEs are a great, modern garden solution. They are versatile and easy to use for constructing all types of plant supports – literally anything you can imagine can be built to help grow better tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, beans and more. Plus, being made of solid and durable materials means they can be used across multiple seasons and over many years for any changing garden.“

    Anthony @theyoungnonno

    “I’ve been using C-BITE clips for a couple of years now, and I can’t say enough good things about them! They’ve completely changed the game for trellising, plant support, and even protecting my plants. I’ve used them to build A-frames for watermelons and sweet potatoes to grow vertically, attach tomato cages for my indeterminate tomatoes, and create all kinds of structures in the garden. I’m really impressed with how well they hold up against wind and the weight of the vines—so sturdy! What I love most about C-BITEs is their versatility. Whether you’re growing in containers or raised beds, the possibilities for creating garden structures are endless. They’re seriously a game changer! “
