Originally posted by animalhouse: What does everyone do for tomato stakes / cages?
I have the round cages and reinforce with metal stakes.
Problem is the height....once they get over ~4 feet tall and a storm comes thru, they are drooped over the rest of the year.
Cherry 100 could be 7-8 feet tall or more if staked well. Need to do something different next spring!
Last year I zipped tied my tomato and pepper plants as they grew to the stake so they didn't droop over.... Just make it tight enough to hold them up against the stake but don't make it too tight...
