These arched tunnels at both the upper and lower garden will be used to support tomato plants using the string method most popular with commercial growers. Of course, we’re downsizing and simplifying the technique but the basic approach is the same.  

With twine or string tomato supports, instead of using cages or stakes, you can train each tomato to grow up a string. The top of each string is tied off onto the wire panel some 5 to 6 feet above ground level. The bottom of the string is tied to the plant. For more info, see our YouTube video demonstration.

String tomato supports are super simple and no hassle to store, like metal tomato cages. Of course, each has is pros and cons. While storing tomato cages off-season can be challenging, they also can be multi-purposed into other uses.
