What is the best way to stake my tomato plants?

you can buy round tomato cages,or,use bamboo posts

What is the best way to stake my tomato plants?
I liked using tomato cages because they were easy. But sometimes the vines just cascaded over the top.



I like to use really long bamboo poles, driven about 1 foot into the ground. I tie the plant to the pole with a natural twine. You have to make a figure 8 around the vine and the pole so that the twine doesn't eventually cut the vine in half.
Reply:Tomato stakes or wire cages are the best
Reply:The wire cages work great...especially when the tomatoes start forming.
