For tomatoes I used strings before, I use spirals now. It is better. I worked in Telecom and these spirals were used for wiring thin telephone cables from one building to another (protection against intensive wind, etc.). I do spirals myself. I wind up zincing wire (d=2 mm) on the pipe (d=35 mm). I extend screws to the spiral then-picture 2.Hitch of spiral picture 3. Growing plan of my tomatoes for 2013 year-pic 4. Storage of spirals in winter- pic 5.
Vladimir,
Nicely done! How high off the ground are your cages?
