Stretch wire across the top. I use electric fence wire. Plant the tomatoes under the wire.<BR/><BR/>As they grow, use surveyor's tape to hold them up and tie off the tape on the wire. <BR/><BR/>As the season progresses, you may need to add additional supports under the wire. I insert 2 inch square cedar stakes under the wire and use a small fencing staple to secure the wire to the top of the stake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193521694438426371.post-87632528045728139132008-07-10T10:12:00.000-04:002008-07-10T10:12:00.000-04:00I have been using the topless table method this ye...I have been using the topless table method this year and have to say it is very easy and effective.
