Does anyone have a preference on how or what they use to support their tomato plants?
I primarily grow indeterminate varieties which can get significantly taller than 6 feet, and tower over even the largest tomato cage. This causes me to either MacGyver something for additional support, or let them flop over the top ring of the cage causing crowding ( which leads to poor airflow, disease, limited sunlight ..) , unsupported branches ( which leads to branch breaking) and limited ability to harvest.
I have made my own tomato support system out of lumber and wire which works, but there has got to be an easier, better way.
Ive searched the internet high and low on different techniques, but curious if you guys have anything to add.
