Just to clarify things, a "hog ring" is what they put through a hogs nose to keep it from rooting.

They have been used for many things one is in the upholstery business another to put together fish traps.
A wonderfull idea for the tomato cages, 'yet another use for the lowly hog ring.
Just dont forget to get your "hog ring pliers" with the hog rings.
