Steph (and others)

What type of fencing are you using for your tomatoes?
Does this method work well?
What are the pro's and con's of fence versus stake & twine weave?

Thanks.

Tom

I prayed for fencing and poles.

Went to a dumpster and found a nice peice of old fencing about 95' long x about 5 foot high. Needed posts, found an old swingset. We took the swingset posts and drilled holes in them and used some old wire to tie the fencing to it. The posts were beat into the ground with a sledge hammer.

We have 3 sections of bean fencing. Should be a nice crop.

For tomaotoes, we are doing the same thing except using bed frame rails pouded into the ground.

Go curb diving or go to your local landfill if there are not a lot of dumpsters in your area. The bedrails are prolific.

Steph
