Support tomato plants with string trellis & plastic clips

String trellis is a simple, effective way to support a growing tomato plant. The vines climb up the twine, suspended from overhanging pipes via Rollerhooks or Tomahooks, which are shifted to lower & lean the plants as they grow and produce. The vines are held on to the twines using the plastic trellis clips. Maximize your garden space by growing vertically.

Supplies:

The stake-&-wire/hanging-string system works well for pruned, indeterminate tomatoes. This system makes it easy to prune and trellis indeterminate tomatoes because each stem gets a string, and any additional suckers are pruned off.

Tomato plants benefit from support, whether you use tomato cages, stakes, or String trellis. Stake or support tomatoes off the ground to:
Make it easier to spray and monitor problems
Avoid diseases
Make it easier to harvest
Keep fruit clean

String trellises and Florida weave trellises are common in greenhouses for commercial growers. Home gardeners can use the same method to grow tomato's in the backward.

One question, if you lower and lean the plants, eventually the plant will be leaning far from where its base is. This makes sense for plants in the middle, where they can be leaned either left or rught, but where do the plants on the ends lean? Back towards the middle?

This video is very informative. Unfortunately, I cannot find the video you mentioned to learn how to set up this trellis system. Could you please share the link?
