Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 next year looks like i'm going to need all new, and stronger, tomato cages.... every single one of em has bent down, fallen over this summer in the garden... dang tomatoes are sprawling all over the place... half the time it feels like i'm harvesting potatoes instead, as they push themselves under the soil/compost.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hi Fraggle I have that problem too, but I just let them grow that way. One mater plant went over the 6' fence and all the way back down again to the ground into the neighbors yard. But it is between where his garage and our fence is so he never minds. I tried propping it up today only to find 4 baby maters growing in the rocks underneath it.
