That is what I do and the tomatoes are really kept up well. I put picking holes in the sides intermittently like you did and it works wonderfully I put them in right after I plant the plantsducks4you said:My MIL had the best method. She used one metal 4' high fencing stake for each tomato and constucted wire cages from 4' high cattle fencing. If you know anyone with unused cattle fencing--like me--see if you can buy it. I still have about 35 ft from a 100 ft. roll left. (New stallion fencing replaced our need to fix horse fences.) The holes are about 4" square and it's easy to pick the fruit.
Oh snap! I just donated two pairs of crutches to Goodwill. Duh!dickiebird said:#2 The crutch method, each plant gets it's own crutch, just a plain old medical device that you use when you injure your leg, foot ect.
I started off using old wood crutches, lots of times free or maybe a buck at a yard sale or flea mkt. Now I use alum. crutches, still about a $1 a pair and they don't rot off!!!
