Growing tomatoes overhead with Aviator Wire

11 years ago

I saw a farmer grow tomatoes overhead in South Carolina using Jute tied to each Tomato Plant and then the Jute was tied overhead on strips of aviator wire.The plants were wrapped around the jute as the plants grew and he broke off the suckers as they grew. The plants looked great!!

I have cemented four 4'x4' posts in each corner of the Main bed and will use aviator wire overhead to string each plant to with Jute. Has anyone ever tried this method and what is best to plant underneath the tomato plants?

Butternut Squashes, Melons, Pumpkins, Onions,Carrots, Beets, or Lettuce??????

Thank You
