Tomato Cage Trials
Watch as we plant tomatoes and install different tomato cages. Then watch the tomato plants grow in the cages.
Check back through the summer to see our progress.
The first tomato cage we will put up is the Ultomato cage. The Ultomato cage is very easy to install. Simply clip the side pieces onto the three main stakes and then push it into the ground. This tomato cage allows for easy adjustments for the side supports as the tomato plant grows. Just move them up and down to accommodate the growing plant.
It is early August and as you can see, the Ultomato Cage is filling out nicely.
The Ultomato continues to fill out nicely.
The second tomato cage we will put up is the Veggie Cage. It requires a bit more work because of the stake you must drive into the ground to hold it up. But once it is up, there is little more you will have to do with this tomato cage.
The Veggie Cage continues to keep the tomato plant growing upward and off of the ground.
The third tomato cage we will put up is the Heavy Duty Folding Tomato Cage. This is a very easy cage to use. You simply pull it open from its flattened storage position, put it in place over the tomato plant and then push the legs into the ground.
The tomato plant is growing well inside the folding tomato cage.
As you can see the folding tomato cage is filling out nicely with some tomatoes poking themselves out for us to see.
The folding tomato cage continues to come along wonderfully.
The final tomato cage we will trial is the Tomato Tower. To use this cage, simply put the bottom stake into the ground, put the sections togather and insert into the ground stake. Very easy and simple.
The Tomato Tower is handling the job very nicely.
