Cage for Earth Box
 

What does eveyone use to cage a earth box?

I am thinking of just using the concrete reinforcement
mesh and making it oblong in stead of round.

Need to get this done, the Riesenstraubs are getting to that
stage where they are going to need it. Growing like weeds.
:D :D

I make a cage using 8ft tall wooden stakes and chicken wire. Will upload photo later.

You can just put the cage around the Earthbox--you don't really need to make it oblong.

It helps sometimes if the plants get huge to wire on another 1/2 section of CRW making the height about 7 feet.

Looks like a plan!!
Thanks!! :D :D

Forgot to mention something else I do but may not be strictly necessary--I buy those skinny bamboo sticks that are about 4 feet long (Big Lots, HD, etc) that come in bags of 10 or so. They are cheap too.

I put one on each tomato in the containers and on the plants in the ground--it helps to support them until they fill out the cage.
