This year I have enough bottoms, but not enough tops -- and am wondering if I need to go get more, or if I can just tie the main stem off to a central stake with just the bottom cage and hope that's good enough....
This is all I do. Then I tie the cages together. Makes it pretty solid my plants don’t get super tall, maybe six feet at most
