Growing Tomato

For years my father has used string instead of stakes to support his tomato plants which seems to work extremely well. If there is anything to tie on to above the plants (such as framing for shade cloth) run a string from near the base of the plant (secured with something like a tent peg) to the overhead tie off point and then as your plant grows simply twist it around the string and this will support the weight of the main stalk
