... After an embarassing number of years, we've come to the conclusion that home-improvement store type tomato cages don't work, at least for us and indeterminate tomatoes. Is there some recognized 'good' support? Cost is an issue; construction (including welding) isn't. TIA, George I agree about the cages. One, they're not tall enough. And two, they fall over. This year I'm going to use those cheap metal fence posts and 6" x 6" wire mesh, the kind you submerge in wet concrete. It comes in sheets or rolls, and I'll cut it in half length-wise to make a five foot tall fence. Then weave the plants through it. The mesh is big enough to where you can reach through it to pick tomatoes. Ken |
