I would just put some tall stakes in ground at each end of the

tomatoes
and run twine (or cheap clothesline) back and forth for support.

Me, too. Or just pound in four long stakes around each plant

(closer at
the base and leaning outward at the top) and run string or wire

around it
from bottom to top, tightening up the stakes as desired.

THAT'S gardening on a budget.


Well I must be very cheap. I've only ever used one wooden stake per
plant and had no problems.


How thick are these stakes you use?
