posts for florida weave

Errol · November 27, 2011

I have decided to go with the florida weave to support my tomatoes next yr., I just can't decide what type of posts to use. I was thinking on 7 ft tall t-post on each end, (tomatoes will be in a 50 ft row) but don't know if 7 ft would be tall enough for inderterminate tomatoes. Then I was thinking on using 2x2 wood inbetween every 2 tomato plants by ripping a 2x4 8ft long and 12-14 inches in the ground. But am wondering if the wood will be strong enough? Now I wonder if 10' x1/2" rebar would be strong enough? I sure don't want to have tomatoes breaking supports and ruining tomatoes!
I sure would like some suggestions on this from all you guys with past expereience with posts for florida weave system
thanks again
