In the pictures where tomatoes are supported from above with a string how do you attach the string to the plant? Do you tie it off to the base of the plant?
(On the chance that none of the original posters may see this
right away....)

Yes, you just loop it around the main stem down low, below
a sturdy leaf coming off of the main stem, and tie a knot that
will not slip, like a bowline knot (so that it does not tighten
up and constrict the stem as the plant gets bigger and puts
more weight on the string).
