How We Trellis a Large Tomato Patch
The quick answer
When you are past a few plants, cages get expensive and tippy. We set sturdy end posts, run a strong line between them, and tie plants up as they grow.
Supplies
- Sturdy end posts
- Heavy twine or wire
- Soft ties or garden clips
Notes from our patch
We grow a big patch, so we care about systems that hold up in wind and under a heavy crop. Keeping plants up off the ground also helps with airflow and makes picking a lot easier on your back.
