Four Ways to Stake Tomatoes- Better Sound Quality

Показать описание
In this video, we demonstrate the following staking techniques:
Tomato cages are an easy, popular solution. They take just a few minutes to install and will keep small determinate plants from flopping. But larger indeterminate plants will outgrow cages by mid-season and will likely need additional staking.
Staking tomatoes can be just as easy as it sounds. Drive one stake into the ground per tomato plant, and tie the plant to the stake as it grows. That’s it! Be sure to keep tying up the branches throughout the season.
The Florida weave is a solution that comes to us from commercial agriculture, and it offers a way to support multiple plants with fewer stakes. Install a strong metal T-post at each end of a row of plants. Drive in a wooden stake every 4 to 5 feet, and weave cotton twine or jute between the plants, wrapping around each stake as you go. This method can also be used to support pepper plants.
Agricultural panels are large, welded-wire grids that are sold at farm-supply stores. Install them by driving metal T-posts at each end of the panel, with one or two additional stakes spaced evenly along its length. Attach the panel to the stakes with wire or zip ties, and then weave tomato vines through the panel as they grow.
No matter which method you use, staking will help to keep your tomato plants tidy and healthy, and you will have easy access to your harvest throughout the season.
