Stake or cage tomatoes?

... concrete reinforcing wire with the 6x6 openings ... Having tried various methods over the years, I've found the concrete reinforcing wire works best for me. Daniel B. Martin I will second Daniel's recommendation. I generally make 2 foot cages. That takes 7 feet of wire per cage. The wire is TOUGH. You need heavy duty pliers. I actually use a bolt cutter for cutting and Channel locks for bending it to connect them. You can expect to get 5-10 years use from a cage. The wire is rusty / dusty when you first get it but after being out doors for awhile it kind of solidifies and is not as much of a mess. Wear old clothes and heavy duty gloves. I think a 50 foot roll is about $25. Get a bigger roll and you get a better price per foot. -- Wes Dukes (wdukes.pobox@com) Swap the . and the @ to email me please. spam@www.spam.com is a garbage address. |
