Hi Cricket, What are your white pots you are growing in?

Thanks

Ken,

That is an interesting system. How far apart do you plant between the two rows of tomato plants? And, do you just wrap the clothes line wire around the outside of the t-posts? Are your plants indeterminate?

I'm just a small backyard grower and use cages, but by the end of the year some of the cages get top heavy and fall over (and need to be stacked). The cages take a lot of space to store, so I am always looking for new ways to do things.
