The cage part is easy. What you need to think about is how are you going to support the cage/container. As the plant grows and gets fruit the more susceptible it is to falling over from wind, been there done that. Especially when the water reservoir gets empty or the aggregate dries up from plant uptake they will get top heavy.

So if you don't have a fence to tie it to you may need to drive a metal rod or pipe into the ground next to the container to anchor it.
