The plastic bag my morning paper comes in makes an excellent tie strip to
tie my tomatoes to the stakes . I pinch a corner off the bottom so I'm not
fighting trapped air .

I used to use my better half's knee high stockings, but about 10 years ago I
bought a roll of 5 foot concrete reinforcing wire and made cages. It is very
stiff and hard to work with but the cages last a long, long time. One tip if
anyone decides to do this: The cages will become top heavy by late summer so
make your diameter at least 18 inches, 24 would be better.
