If you are going to stick with the 550 chord definitely add shoe goo to sturdy it up, or just lose the 550 and replace with 3/4" or 1" netting in neutral color and secure it with 550 and shoe goo
 
Re: how does it look so far?

Shoe goo on each of your tiedown points will really stabilize it and prevent the ties from coming out. As for tieing in the jute its looking good start thin then add in more as needed.

I would also consider using the 1x1 nylon netting, or up to 2x2 nylon. It will be more durable in the long run, and more spots to attach veg to.

All the 550 ones I have ever seen, usually at some point rip free, and you got a loop hanging out and a bald spot. Also catches on a lot of things when they do pop.
