Just call me Hang ‘Em High Hanna.This past weekend, I took my own advice (along with the advice of some other people) and set up a string support for my beloved tomatoes. And since I like to be on the bleeding edge of technology that everyone else is already doing, I put this how-to in video format.
Enjoy!

Wow, call me old fashioned but I still use the wire cages…It’s a great idea tho, thanks for the video I showed it to my family and we might actually try this ‘new’ method next year. Last summer we ended up with huge plants that went way over the cages and this system would definitly eliminate that problem. My only concern is that large plants would be so heavy they might snap the string, or having such a ridgid structure tied around the plants in a wind storm could cause them to break off at the base where the knot is tied.
