Support for Tomatoes Which Are Grown In A Hydroponic Setup?

9 years ago

I know tomatoes are big in hydroponics, and I am growing one in a hydroponic bucket which is working very well. I never thought however, before I planted the tomato plant in the bucket, that it was going to need support around it as it grows. How does one provide a support around the tomato plant in a hydroponic bucket?

Last year I did it like this. After the plants got bigger I added additional ropes so each plant had 4 ropes. I tied off the tomato branches to the ropes as the plants grew. This year I'm using a Spanish trellis which is working well.
