Just dig your holes and plant the plants almost laying on the ground,at an angle kinda.. When the side bracnhes start to shoot up,just cover them with a peice of 2x4 chicken wire.with a tent stake holdin' it down. Your gonna want to form the wire in a semi circle. Go from there... Just keeping them under the screen. Nuttin' major need to accomplish what your wanting to do.
Thanks for the good information. Of course though this leads to some additional questions.

I grow on a hill so the angle should not be a problem. You say when the side branches start to shoot up but that is a little vague to me. I start with clones that have branches to start. They are usually about 1' to 2' tall when I put them in. Should I put the wire on immediately, or as soon as they have recovered from the transplant. I may be able to find some rusty chicken wire but I have some that is years old and is still not rusty. I may be able to find some I dug up from under my holes in the past to use but that is actually aviary wire with smaller openings than regular chicken wire and may not be useful. About how many feet in diameter should the wire end up being. At what point do you allow the tops to come through the wire.

My holes are at least the dimensions you mentioned so that should not be an issue. It is too late for lime this year but I will make sure to do that next winter.

Sorry if this is too many questions but the season is approaching and I want to be ready.
