My tomatoes cages made the top 4!
A few years ago I submitted a design for folding wooden tomato cages, to Mother Earth News
They published it and I paid for my digital camera with the proceeds.

They ARE great cages! Not only do they look easy enough for ME to make, but they look solid. I'll have to make me up some. GOOD JOB!!

those are awesome cages. I have some cedar boards that I can rip into strips. I'm thinking maybe making a few for my pole bean to.
They work for that as well, I waiting for my old one to die, then will make a couple of more.
I do cut them down about 6" from a full 8 ft, just so they store under the eves of the garage.

I’ve got a bunch of 1x6 and knew it had a use for something, thanks for the idea. I have a stack of Mother Earth News from the 70’s and never had the heart to throw them out.
