Tomato Spirals?

I read one just a week ago. They put stakes in at each end (10feet) and planted the tomatoes in between. then as they grew they wove twine from one stake to the other, and adding twine as the toms grew taller. I didn't see a picture, but they must use 2 twine each time to hold the plant. It said they grew much better that when individually staked. For the past 6 years I've used what I call a horizontal trellis: 14 gauge fence mesh hung between 2x2 posts, with an additional post along the long side. I simply staple the fencing to the post inserted in one of the openings. I use one fencing layer at 21 inches and another at 39 inches. Easy to put up and disassemble. Plants grow up thru the mesh and fruits are supported well. |
