Toni,

What do you use for stakes with when you Florida-weave and what length?

In the past only once (luckily) did we loose to wind about 250' of indeterminates that were woven on 54" wooden stakes.

Hi,
I grow quite a few specialty tomatoes.......heirlooms/indeterminate
mostly. There is no way the wooden tomato stakes would hold up my 5'-8'
plants - even without any wind or sodden soil from rains. For us, it's
large remesh cages, cattle panels, t-posts, or Florida-weave only. The
few determinate pastes we grow will work well with stakes or small tomato
cages staked.
Good Luck!
Toni
