Default Lean & Lower: how to keep tomatoes off the ground

Hey all you lean & lower fans! I love the system and many of my tomato vines are now well over 8 feet long.

Some of the bottom trusses of tomatoes are now on the ground. What do you all use to keep the tomatoes off the ground?

I tried stringing them to a higher part of the plant but a couple of the unripe tomatoes popped off the stem

I cut the bottoms off some milk jugs to support heavy trusses. When turned upside down, they have a built in groove so water doesn't puddle on them.

What do you use?

Jeff
