  • I just have the standard tomato cages they sell at any home improvement store. If you wish to make your own, easy enough there are many people that have posted their masterpieces on places like Pinterest. Or you can Google. I am not too fussy, or have the time to be fussy with the tomatoes and mine have done well. I do plant them in great organic soil, add coffee grounds and eggshells. I also plant lot of parsley and marigolds for natural pest control.

    As Naomie, I too use coffee grounds and eggshells, in addition try growing garlic around your tomato plants, as just like using marigolds it keeps the pests at bay. I hope you have a bumper crop.
