Stake a Cage for tomatoes and peppers
I made tomato cages last year with CRW and I love them. I needed a few more and I do not think I am up to date on my tetanus shot:)) I had a roll of 2 x 4 in. unrusted fencing already as well as 6 ft. stakes so I made some of these today. I love a project that does not require any man tools. Instead of the called for 18 in. panel for tomatoes I cut mine 32 in. 18 in. just isn't wide enough for tomatoes IMO. I do not grow any monster varieties so I think the 32 width will be fine. I also cut some 16 in. widths for peppers. The roll I used is 36 in length. Very simple and easy, that is how I roll. Now I just cannot wait to use them!:roll:
Also these will stack very neatly and take up very little space when it is time to store them for winter. I am running out of room! The CRW cages take up lots of space. |

They sound easy enough to make, I am planning on trying them out this year as well. |

I have been using these for a couple of years, I have started zip tying the stakes to the wire fencing to make it easier for me.

Yes that is it, and I used heavy duty zip ties as well!

So, is that the side of the house across the street we r looking at? Beautiful neighborhood by the way. |
Reminds me of the HOA meeting I went to when I had property in one.
The laws stated no sheds or gardens in front of the house. So I asked what about beside the house. The Hitler woman said well not that either what we mean is visible. So I said so you mean to tell me I have 12 acres of land and everything has to be behind the house. Yes she said. That is when the whole group of people erupted and turned on her. I didn't go the next year but I heard there was a knock down drag out fight at the annual meeting.:lol: Worth |

Yes and thank you! [QUOTE=Worth1;548768]Reminds me of the HOA meeting I went to when I had property in one. The laws stated no sheds or gardens in front of the house.

Two hens are allowed but can't put a coup within 50 feet of a property line, which would restrict me to my front yard. Still though about it though. |
For those of you using this style, what width of fencing is adequate? So far I've seen 18", 32" - anybody else care to opine?
