| I have 3 bush tomato plants in this enclosure. Do I need to use tomato cages? |
Follow-Up Postings:

| May be not. I have three of them. While my indeterminants are over 2ft tall, the bush types are about 8" and full of flowers. But it is too early in the season. Never have grown bush types before. |

| This one takes the gold for most elaborate tomato support structure!!! you could use a cage, but because you have so much structure you could just tie them up to the sides as they grow. |
|
| Depending on what bush variety you have, you will probably need some kind of support for each plant. Even if the enclosure keeps them all upright, you'll have to get at them to pick your tomatoes, and you don't want a tangle of vines falling out on you whenever you open the door :) the critters sure wont get at them, though! I'm growing Better Bush this year, and it would definitely sprawl if not caged/staked. |
