Tomato Trellis for Pots (CHEAP and EASY)

Since I've been growing tomato plants in pots this year I needed an easy way to trellis them. Tomato plants need staked in some way to keep them upright and introduce good air flow. That reduces the chances of fungal disease and other issues. It also can increase production as the tomato plants gain better lighting.

I repurposed some PVC pipes that had been previously used for building some small hoop houses/tunnels in the vegetable garden. With a little form made from concrete blocks I was able to easily bend them to a shape I needed and used twine to hold up the tomato plants. This was a quick and easy way to get my tomato plants trellised up!

Excellent idea. Just need to source the PVC pipes or other bendy materials.

If the pipe is grey it will last much longer
