I haven't tried it, but saw something similar in the link below. I wonder how well it works too.

It looks very sturdy, and rather simple to make ~but unfortunately I don't own a saw or a drill :-(

Ah ha!! That's the one, thanks star_stuff! I remembered it had some kind of snazzy name, but could not, for the life of me, rememeber it.

I think I may have to try constructing one of these, just for sh*ts and giggles. I don't know how well it'd fare supporting a giant heirloom, but it looks like it might be good for cherries. Maybe if the loops were bigger, it'd be able to hold a larger plant and help it keep its hands to itself.

Hey, Spaghetina...I designed the Tormato, and have been using them for about 5 years now. They'll hold whatever you can grow on them! I've had nearly 2lb beefsteaks on them and they did just fine.

I'm always eager to get feedback from whoever uses them, so don't be afraid to drop me a line!
