Greetings,
If some of the tomatoes you are growing are shorter indeterminates, Red
Cardinal Farm in the Minneapolis area uses tunnels of concrete reinforcing
wire. They lop the wire off every 7 sections, I believe. After planting,
laying drip and mulching, they then lay the tunnel, each section covers
maybe 3 plants. The plants grow up through the tunnel. Most uses for
reinforcing wire involve tall standing cages, which may be necessary for
heirlooms or indeterminates, but these things looked like they worked great
fro shorter plants, and you can nest them for storage at the end of the
year.
