next year's support system

Ed of Somis · August 31, 2013

I learned the importance this year of a good support system for my plants. I ended up with a hodge-podge system after getting behind the power curve! Next year's plan: plant the tomatoes in a row...alongside my 8' T posts. Rather than my initial thought of 6 inch welded wire (it rusts and looks bad) between the posts...I think I will just run galvanized wire (14 gauge) every 12 inches between the posts. What do you think???

Look up Florida Weave. If I understand what you are proposing it is very similar.
