Nifty Tomato Growing Ideas Overhead Wires Provide Support

Nifty Tomato Growing Ideas Overhead Wires Provide Support CROPS New Techniques 24-3-41 If you struggle to provide enough support for big tomato plants in your garden, you might like this idea from Joe Lynch, Ames, Iowa. He strings heavy wire tightly across the top of a row of plants and then runs loops of twine down to the ground for the plants to climb on. The twine is staked at ground level to hold the twine tight. The arrangement lets plants climb as high as they need and makes them easy to pick, notes Lynch.
