Tomato Trellising Strategies

Tomato trellising is one of those gardening challenges that allows for plenty of creative solutions. With the growing season fast approaching, we wanted to share some of our favorite and ingenious tomato trellising options from around the web.

Be sure to share links to fixes, pics, or tomato trellising ideas you may have as well and we’ll be sure to include it.

Here is some inspiration to get you started:

from VegetableGardener.com	A Classic: the A-Frame Trellis is a sturdy and easy-to-build option.

from ItsaTormato.com	The Tormato uses PVC pipe and flexible PEX tubing. You can even add a feed tube.
	A simple string trellis how-to via BuddyClubGardening. This uses 2×2 supports screwed into the sides of a raised garden bed.
at erincovert.wordpress.com	This cattle panel trellis is a cinch, using materials available at your local hardware or farm supply store that you practically live at anyway.
An illustration of the Florida Weave from hightunnels.org	And let’s not forget about the standard trellis system used on many farms large and small, the Florida Weave. It’s probably the most cost-effective system per acre. There’s a good write up on it at the Barefoot Gardener, and a good video illustration of it from Grow Indie.
