How To Handle A Bumper Tomato Crop FARM HOME Food 24-4-27 Here's an idea for handling bumper tomato crops.
Tom Martin, Bedford, Va., mounted two 16-ft. cattle panels about 15 in. off the ground on steel cable strung from three metal posts. The cattle panels stay in place permanently.
"The panels are high enough off the ground so I can work the soil in the spring with a small tiller from either side. And I buried a seep hose the bed for easy watering," says Martin.
Tomatoes are planted on the sunny south side. Each plant is tied individually to the panels. He grows 15-ft. tall Mexican corn on the back side, running a long cord behind the corn to support it against the panels.
