Hi Wes,
I am stuck on high risk pregnancy bed rest, so making something that
complex or lifting of anything heavy would be a no no. (Getting older is
not fun lol)
My DH is not much of gardening type, but perhaps he could figure it out.
Thank you for the info...

What is your definition of a tomato cage? Most garden centers don't
sell a real one. Mine is a 5 foot rigid wire cylinder 2 ft in diameter
and 5 feet tall. Galvanized welded wire works, but you have to cut
larger holes. Concrete reinforcing wire is best but takes some muscle
to make. Making your own with either material should cost 3-5$ per
cage.

I have considered making some concrete wire ones forsale, but I think I
would have to charge $10 each to make it worthwhile. They are bulky to
transport if premade and I don't know if I would have the time.

Would there be any interest by anyone?
