Building a tomato trellis out of bamboo


I have Bamboo towering next to my barn. I always keep it around to make trellises, stakes, and fencing. Its cheap , sturdy, and simple. I cut down and trim 11ft stalks, and cut them to any size I need. here I used a cheap Sisal Natural Twine from home Depot, its rough so no slipping, plus it can handle the outside weather. As the tomatoes grow I will keep adding levels of bamboo. The tomatoes I have growing this year are Ceylon, Money Maker, Black Oxheart, Emerald Evergreen, Brandywine,and Golden Jubilee.
