Hi all,

I decided to try this SFG thing for the first time this year and I'm looking forward to fresh veggies in a couple of months. Anyway, I did a lot of research (here and elsewhere) on tomato cages and other support systems, and I think I've come up with a relatively inexpensive solution. I'm sure folks here with more experience can tell me why it won't work, but I'm going to give it a shot.

I used the suggestions of the reinforced mesh that people cut and roll into cages, but frankly I didn't want to buy that much and spend the time rolling them into cages. So I just bought two and tried a variation on the Quonset Hut method. Below is a pic of how it looks. The SFG is 4' x 8'. Am I going to regret this? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Here is a link that might be useful:
