You'd be much better off doing a Florida weave and also using 3 more supports with that length. Tomatoes need to be tied up as they grow or they just fall and sprawl...
A fantastic idea for beans however  |
Well darn when you put it like that, it'll never hold. I was planning on roughly 36 tomatoes in there. Was going to wind the single stem around the twine as I went. Pruning as they grow. But Florida weave on each bed it is.
And also color me impressed
with the math done in your head.
I am planning on doing pole beans on the other side of the garden so I will set it up over there instead.
