I'm wondering if a person can support tomatos the scrogg way? I did some searches and didnt see anything said about it......I'm thinking of some chicken wire to set up around the garden to keep rabbits out.....and was wondering about raisng some wire 5 or 6 inches from the ground support the wire with stakes so the plants can lay down on the wire instead of the ground...anyways I dont have cages or stakes yet and was wondering if this other way can be done...anyone do it or know...seems like it would work....a wooden frame made of 2 x 4s with partitions, with wire nailed to the tops of the boards spreading the wire across them...but then i'd have to buy wood....any ideas...is there a better type wire or plastic support one can use instead of chicken wire...tks

you ever see that orange snow fencing material made from plastic that road crews use? that would work good for what your planning instead of wire. you can prolly go to your local dump and get all you need for free too. sometimes the dump is a goldmine for materials to do small projects. ...peace...

I'm expanding my bed this year from 10 x 20 to 13 x 35 as well as a couple small plantings throughout the yard that will include veggies and fruits. We already stripped the sod and plan doing an initial breakup of the soil as soon as is possible. We'll put a couple truckloads of compost on the soil as soon as possible and add some decomposed manure to it as well. We've decided ALL our vegetables from now on will be heirloom only and we'll reserve enough seed stock each year to cover the next two to three years of plantings. We haven't laid out a plan for exactly what we'll be planting this year.

Happy veggies to you to..
