Hi..Jo...Yes ..I do not know why initially I never thought of using hollow tubes ..Its working for me so far....My objective is to have my Tomato plant in a drum and staked with no interference from anything....So i can turn it around and put it anywhere I want within the concrete base of my greenhouse...Re the teepee at the top I do not know yet if i actually will need to tie the three stakes at the top....If I can get 45 cm Hula hoops at a good price I could put two on each teepee and tie them in and bring the stakes together at the top...Extra plant support could be provided by Ties...I got the Hollow tube from the Habitat for Humanity shop at the entrance to the local city Tip...IE Rubbish Dump..
Cheers Ron
PS...I used the worst plant I have in case i damaged it... I really struggled to lift it up to take photos....Its now back in the greenhouse slightly damaged...
