My MIL (1920-1998, RIP) had the BEST tomato cages. They looked like this:

except that she pounded in a 5 ft. high fencing stake for each plant, too. They are great, BUT you have to buy the fencing material and the stake and you NEED a place to store them off season. I have about 35 ft. of cattle fencing left over in a roll that I haven't used since I got new horse fencing in 2008 and I Could use my stakes and buy some more, but I don't have the time to make these. I'm starting to rethink this bc I have both materials and storage space.
