Thanks John - that was so interesting!

We're wondering what kind of cages/supports to use for our tomatoes this year. You mentioned you'll be fashioning your own. Will you share that with us?

We bought cages last year (small ones - not like the TX cages you showed) and they were a total waste of money. I'm interested to see what you're doing.

Thanks!

We were going to "expand" the diameter of the cages we used last year, but after talking it over with sage, we decided just to reuse the cages from last year. look at my old videos for pictures. They are just galvenized fence rolled up. 6' high was best. look up the video tomato canopy

Cut the bottom of the concrete wire to make "prongs" to stick into the ground, then place stakes opposite each other for further reinforcement. Hope this helps!

I live in Texas. Those tomato cages look like concrete reinforcement wire. Cheaper at DIY or lumber yard store. This is what most Texans use. Cow panels are good for a sturdy trellis.

I live in Texas. That's concrete reinforcement wire. Pick it up at your local diy,or lumber yard store. It'll be cheaper. Cut off the bottom square to make "prongs" to stick into the ground. Add stakes opposite each (in ground) for added support. Cow panels are good for trellis, too
