Hi Dice, and thanks for the info and link. I think what you are describing is a little different from what I was thinking about. I wanted a ring to hold about three of the same variety, so I could keep the varieties grouped together, and a system that once I planted I wouldn't have any maintenance of staking, tying, etc. In this, if they outgrew the cage, as you mention, I would just let them trail back down the outside. I thought if I could get them up a couple of feet that they would continue to grow "up" and I wouldn't have to keep training them. Not really sure how that would work though.

As you say, I may just try one and see how it works. I have quite a few plant/varieties planned for the raised beds and am trying to find a way to plant more varieties in the field that I won't have as much maintenance with.

Thanks for the info. Lots of good ideas in your post, and also in the link you sent. Gracias.

Don
